Question 5:
How do I setup a network client for CMS-PC 4.0?

Answer:
Setting up a client to access CMS-PC 4.0 on a network server can be done in three simple steps. However, you must be "computer literate" in order to do these steps. If you do not feel comfortable in executing the below steps, contact your network administrator or give us a call to help walk you through the steps.

1. File Handle/Buffer Settings -
In the client’s CONFIG.SYS file, the FILES= statement must be set to at least 99 and the BUFFERS= statement must be set to at least 10. Do not use the secondary DOS buffers option (see page 14 of the User’s Guide for more details). Additionally, for Novell networks, if the NET.CFG (or the SHELL.CFG) file contain a FILES= statement, it also must be set to at least 99. Make sure these files are configured properly, and you must reboot in order for any changes to take affect.

2. Copying required files to the client’s system -
There are three files that need to be copied to the client’s WINDOWS\SYSTEM subdirectory. All of these files can be found in the directory CMS-PC was installed on. These three files are FOXPRINT.TTF, FOXPRINT.FOT and FOXFONT.FON.

3. Create the client’s icons -
On the client’s computer, an icon must be created to give the end user easy access to the CMS-PC 4.0 program. Create an icon the way you normally would in a convenient location for the client. The Command Line of the icon’s properties should point to: drive letter:\CMS4\CMS4.EXE. The working directory can be left blank, or you can insert drive letter:\CMS4.

Your network client is now ready to run CMS-PC 4.0.
