2. Installing on a network
==========================
DipWriter can be quickly and easily installed on a network by specifying
a network drive during installation. You can then update each workstation to
access DipWriter from the network drive. If you wish to use DipWriter on a
network, it is important purchase a network license of every network
workstation that installs DipWriter. A network licence can be purchased for
$400 US for each corporate site.
3. Current limits
=================
Currently, only 64 install actions can be stored in each DIPWRITER file.
You may hop over this limit by stringing multiple DIP files together by
having a Command exec run each DIP file, in order, one after another.
for example: In command file INSTALL.CMD
DIPRUN DIP1.dip
DIPRUN DIP2.dip
.
.
.
4. Planned Enhancements
========================
The following enhancements are currently being worked on:
1.) Generate rexx code install procedure. This replaces the DIPRUN
and the DIP file with a single REXX command exec.
2.) Updates to the Config.sys
6. Installation
===============
1) Run PKUNZIP to unpack the zip files.
2) Please run the INSTALL.CMD command and enter the directory and disk name
were DIPWRITER was unpacked before starting the install.
