- Using the MOVECIM File Relocater (MOVECIM.EXE)
- ----------------------------------------------
-
- Beginning with Version 2.1, DOS CIM will use a new directory structure.
- The new structure will allow CompuServe communications software programs
- for such as the CompuServe Information Manager for Windows (WinCIM) and
- DOS CIM 2.1 to share common data such as scripts, the modem database,
- other support files, and the Filing Cabinet. The new directory tree
- structure looks like this:
-
-
- C:\CSERVE\ (or common directory)
- |
- |---- DOSCIM DOS CIM executables & help, Browse menu
- |
- |---- SCRIPTS Script files, modem database
- |
- |---- FCABINET Filing Cabinet, In Basket, Out Basket
- |
- |---- SUPPORT Support files (*.DAT)
- |
- |---- DOWNLOAD Default download subdirectory
- |
- |---- GIFS Default GIF download subdirectory
-
-
- NOTE: If you originally selected to REORGANIZE FILES during
- installation, you DO NOT need to run MOVECIM. It is only
- necessary to run MOVECIM if you did not already run MOVECIM
- to update the current directory organization. If you are
- unsure, check the common CIM directory to see if its
- directory structure matches the one diagrammed above. If
- it does match and you have access to your old Filing Cabinet
- and other data files, there is no need to run MOVECIM.
-
-
- Syntax: MOVECIM Old_Support_Dir New_Common_Dir Old_CIM_Dir
-
- Where: Old_Support_Dir = Full Pathname to old Support files Directory
- Destination_Common_Dir = Full Pathname to new Common Directory
- Old_CIM_Dir = Full Pathname to old CIM.EXE location. This
- parameter is necessary only if your CIM executable
- program is located in a different subdirectory than
- your CIM support files.
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- PLEASE NOTE:
- * MOVECIM will not work across drives. For example, you
- cannot move files from a directory on the C drive to a
- directory on the D drive.
-
- * Versions of DOSCIM prior to 2.1 will NOT work properly
- once you run the MOVECIM utility to move your old DOSCIM
- Filing Cabinet and Support Files to the new directory
- structure used by WinCIM and/or DOSCIM 2.1. To use
- DOSCIM with the new directory structure, you MUST upgrade
- to DOSCIM Version 2.1 or higher (GO CIMSOFT).
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- For members who have always accepted the default directory
- recommendations made by CIM during installation, the recommended
- usage is
-
- MOVECIM \CSERVE \CSERVE
-
- CSERVE will then become the common directory for all CompuServe
- software programs (except for versions of DOS CIM prior to 2.1).
-
- To access DOS CIM under the new directory structure, type the
- following commands in DOS:
-
- CD \CSERVE\DOSCIM <hit Enter>
- CIM <Enter>
-
- Note: If you installed CIM 2.1 to a directory other than CSERVE,
- adjust the CD (Change Directory) command accordingly by replacing
- CSERVE with your common directory name.
