STAC NOTE STAC NOTE
INSTALL PUBLIC: SHARED REACHOUT FILES
(Applies to Reachout versions 3.X, 4.X, 5.X)
STAC FAX 8101 (05-25-1995)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
BACKGROUND
In order to share ReachOut files on a network, use the switch
"PUBLIC" with the INSTALL command. This switch helps the system
administrator by copying only batch, parameter, cache, password,
and other files that actually start and maintain ReachOut, to a
user's directory. Meanwhile the executable files are safely
stored on a write protected, shared network drive.
Network Installation
Before installing on individual systems, ask: Are the user's
Windows files maintained on the network or on the user's hard
drive? Where should the files created by INSTALL PUBLIC be
maintained? These questions are particularly important when using
a network installation of Windows. If the users are not 100%
dependent on the network for their applications, either the
network administrator will have to install from the users' work
stations, or the users will have to install ReachOut from the
shared network drive themselves.
NOTE: Portions of this document reference earlier versions of
Reachout that may not be asked for during your installation.
Before this switch can be used, a full installation of ReachOut
must be placed into a shareable network drive. There is no
special method for this step. Simply follow the instructions in
Chapter 2 of the ReachOut User's Guide. When asked if you wish
to modify the SYSTEM.INI files, answer "No." Then proceed as
follows:
1. Log into the network and move to ReachOut's shared network
drive.
2. Type INSTALL PUBLIC.
3. Continue with the installation as instructed in Chapter 2.
The "Install from" path should be the shared network
directory, the "Install to" should be the user's private
directory on a network or local drive. *The "WIN.INI and
SYSTEM.INI" path should point to the user's private Windows
directory, and the "Device Drivers" path should point to the
user's private Windows device drivers directory.
4. When prompted to confirm the paths, be sure to specify one
that the user has full rights to at all times during a
session.
5. To run ReachOut, have the user change to their user
directory and run ReachOut
NOTE: ReachOut should NOT be invoked from the shared
directory.
