User Control: Each DataClub user may set defaults which restrict how DataClub uses their machines resources. These options are set through the DataClub cdev in the Control Panel. One user’s settings will not affect others.
The box labeled “This Macintosh is called:” takes the name from the Chooser. This is the name DataClub uses to recognize a specific user’s machine. The user may change this name.
The On/Off button turns DataClub on and off on the user’s machine. Files located on the user’s machine will appear dimmed in other user’s DataClub windows. They are unavailable.
The “Dedicated” check box allows the user to dedicate more of their machines processing time to other users. A typical scenario would be that the host of a multi-user data base would dedicate their machine. This is not a requirement.
The “Create my new folders on:” pop-up button allows the user to instruct DataClub where to locate newly created folders. The user may specify a specific machine or allow DataClub to choose.
The “Show location names as:” option relates to the above command. Users can not only specify what machine their folders are stored on, but also on what drive on a specific machine they are located.
The “Use this Macintosh as a Gateway Entry Point:” checkbox allows access to the DataClub server by non-DataClub Macintosh’s, MS-DOS PCs or Macintosh’s in other Zones. To have this access available, one DataClub machine must have this option checked. This setting works best when the machine is also dedicated (see above).
The “Use these disks:” list and check boxes allows the user to select and deselect which of their drives are available for DataClub to store files on.
The “Prevent others...” checkbox will prevent others from creating or relocating folders to the user’s machine.
