for Win-EZ

Last edited: December 15, 2003 08:20 AM

This document will list the steps required for building a Win95/98 Managers workstation that may be used in a Win-EZ system. It assumes that you have a clean copy of Win95/98 installed on the hard drive, with Lantastic installed so that it may log in to the DOS Server \Main.

1) Autoexec.BAT
Edit the Autoexec.BAT on the Win95/98 Workstation. Place the following Line exactly as it is typed at the bottom of the file:

CALL C:NGRVARIABLE.BAT

2) Create a Folder
Make the following folder: C:Z-Drive

3) Map Drives
Make the following Drive mappings. Be sure to check Reconnect at logon for each one.

Drive
Path Notes
E \maine-drive Servers C Drive
F \maina-drive Servers A Drive
G \maing-drive C:Touchnet Folder
H \mainh-drive C:TouchnetClient folder

These will connect to the Pre-defined Lantastic Resource names on the Win-EZ server.

4) Copy Folders
Copy the following folders from MAIN (IE the newly mapped E-Drive) onto the Managers workstation Hard drive:

    E:NGR
    E:Terminal
    E:Transit

5) Variable.BAT
Edit the Variable.BAT file in the newly copied NGR folder to contain the following changes:

On the second line, below Echo Off add a line that reads: Subst Z: C:Z-Drive

Locate the line that reads Set Type=BackOff and change it to read: Set Type=Win95

Locate the line that loads Reboot (Note: it will be proceeded with an LH) and REM it out.

6) Create a Shortcut
Create a shortcut on the desktop that points to the Menu.BAT file in the newly copied Transit folder. Give it an appealing icon, and set it to run in Full screen mode and exit upon completion.

There you have it. Easy eh?
