InteliCat(tm) v1.9
Copyright (c)1990-94 By Curtis Little
All Rights Reserved Worldwide
InteliCat supports multiple users viewing a single database in a
network environment! Here's how to make this feature work:
1) Create the database that you would like to have
multiple users be able to view.
2) Move the database files to a network server
directory where all the users can access it.
3) Set the READ ONLY attribute on the database files
(be sure to set it for both database files).
4) Setup the users PCs with the linkage to the network
directory as needed.
That's all there is to it! When InteliCat reads a database that has
the read only attribute set for both the XX.DB and XX1.DB files, it
automatically opens the file in a READ ONLY SHARE compatible mode.
This feature allows multiple users to view a database at the same
time. It also blocks attempts to modify the database, so you don't
have to worry about the users accidently deleting any of the
information in the database.
This feature has been tested on the following networks (it should
work on most others as well):
Novell
StarLAN
Microsoft Network
Banyan Vines
