Installing Above & Beyond 1.0 is Easy
Summary of Steps:
1. Run A:INSTALL
2. Add a Program Item (seen as an icon)
3. Start Above & Beyond
4. Get HELP by pressing Alt+H from Above & Beyond
Details:
The installation process allows you to select where
you would like to put Above & Beyond files. The
directory you name will be created if it doesn't already
exist, and the files will be copied from the diskette(s)
to this target directory.
Step 1: Insert the Above & Beyond diskette into drive A:.
From the Windows Program Manager, Select Run from the
File pull-down menu and type:
A:INSTALL
Step 2: Create a program item (an icon) in the program
group of your choice, eg. Windows Applications. From
the Program Manager, select File, and choose New.
Select Program Item. As a description, you might type
in "Above & Beyond", and for the command line, state
the path and program file, eg. c:\ab\AB.exe.
You can also specify a datafile name, eg.
c:\ab\AB.EXE HOWARD
The extension will be assumed as .PAK. When you
omit the datafile name, the name used is
TIMEDATA.pak by default.
Step 3: Start Above & Beyond by selecting the icon
you have created and either pressing Enter, or
double-clicking with the mouse.
Installing Above & Beyond for a LAN Workgroup
Although you can install the program file AB.exe in a
shareable directory on the server, and have your
workstations access it there, it will run faster if
installed locally. This is because Windows will not
have to repeatedly access the server hard drive to read
parts of the program code into memory. If installed on
the local workstation, Above & Beyond will not only load
quicker, but it will also operate at a faster, more
responsive pace. This is true for all Windows
applications.
The installation is the same as described above in the
section "Installing Above & Beyond" with one exception.
You will want to have datafiles reside on the server's
hard drive. It's recommended you designate an individual
directory for each user. This will keep .log files
(completed items are tracked in these files) for each
user from being combined.
When you run Above & Beyond, if the directory and/or
file you specify does not yet exist it will
automatically be created for you.
Suppose you have four users, Bill, Karen, Cindy, and
Howard. Drive J: is the name of your server drive.
Your command lines on various workstations could be
as follows:
Bill's workstation has this command line:
c:\ab\AB.exe j:\Bill\Bill
Karen's workstation has this command line:
c:\ab\AB.exe j:\Karen\Karen
Cindy's workstation has this command line:
c:\ab\AB.exe j:\Cindy\Cindy
Howard's workstation has this command line:
c:\ab\AB.exe j:\Howard\Howard
