About the demos :
----------------
Don't forget that you can modify or create palettes. And almost all windows in 5PM, except some alerts and the terminal-emulation windows *are* palettes. So if a demo does not fit your needs, unlock the palette, change its scripts or add some buttons… Scripts can be attached to every button, icon, text, palette and even terminal-emulation windows.
Don't forget also that 5PM is mainly a Terminal-Emulation application. A demo palette called "New Sessions" allows you to create 4 types of sessions from scratch, without having to configure the 3 CTB Tools (Connection, Terminal and File Transfer). But, of course, you can change the parameters of these default sessions, and if you need it, you can use the CTB Tools developed by Apple or other companies…
The included demos contains primarily palettes for Unix users and Vamps for VM and MVS users but you may develop palettes for VM and Vamps for Unix. Creating palettes is easy since they are quite close to HyperCard stacks. Vamps are written in C, Pascal or whatever you want, so they are more efficient but they should be reserved to particular purposes.
Important Notes :
----------------
If you encounter any problem with a CTB Tool, please refer to the "Read Me" files included in the CTB Tools folder.
If you need to open more than 3 sessions simultaneously, it may be safe to increase the memory allocated to the application.
This Demo version is being made available on this forum ONLY for evaluation purpose. It is fully functional except that the 'Save' functionality has been disabled, and that the connection time is LIMITED TO 8 MINUTES FOR EACH SESSION.
