At your office's main computer, you can use TickleX's OUTPUT function to
create a specialized copy of the data base on a diskette. The data on that
diskette may then be transferred to a satellite computer. Over time, each
satellite's copy of the data base will have grown as each user adds events to
the schedule. After several days (perhaps a week, or so), each satellite's
modified data base should be transferred on diskette back to the main computer
and run through TickleX's INPUT routine. The Input routine will add to the
main computer's data base only those events which were NOT present when each
satellite's copy of the data base was originally Output from the main computer.
After all the satellites' new events have been Input into the main computer,
you're ready once again to use the Output function to create new copies of the
main computer's up-to-date data base. The process starts again as these new
copies are then used on each satellite computer.
If your satellite computer has a hard drive, you'll probably want to
transfer the data OUTPUT from the main computer to your satellite's hard disk.
To do so, you need to go through a satellite INPUT routine comparable to that
used at the main computer. Just place the diskette containing the newly-output
data into your satellite's floppy drive and press ALT-I at TickleX's menu.
When it's time to output data from the satellite to the main computer, press
ALT-O at the satellite's TickleX menu to access the OUTPUT routine.
