Location for record files

Setting the location for the record files lets you control where the files are stored on the computer as well as allowing for greater control of who has write access to specific directories on the network.  Once set, all of Merit Audio Visual Windows 95 programs will use this configuration.

If your requirements change, you can use the Record program to modify these options.

Current (Keep record files with the program files.)

Literal (You specify the path for the record files.)

Environment (The network administrator controls where the record files are kept.)

Note: If you are not sure, use Current for now and change it later if it does not work out.


CURRENT

The program will store its files in the directory where it was installed.  This is the simplest option for reviewing the program or for using it on a single computer where all users have full access (write privileges).


ENVIRONMENT

This option uses the I-CLAS convention of  setting environment variables to determine where the students store their files (progress through the program).  The three environment variables are HV (Home Volume), G (Group), and D (Destination).  To set these variables, modify (or create) the AUTOEXEC.BAT or the log-on START.BAT  to include lines along the following:

SET HV=C:

SET G=\STUDENTS

SET D=\WORKING

Note: Some networks give each student a separate directory that is set by the variable D, such as SET D=\DOE_JOHN.

Per the sample, the program would then store its files in: C:\STUDENTS\WORKING directory.


LITERAL

The program will store the files in the user defined directory. Select the Path edit box and enter your working directory, or use the Browse button to display drives and directory information and select the path that way.

Sample:

Path:

C:\WORKING
