Works 2.00: Running on the DNA Network

PSS ID Number: Q65460 Article last modified on 06-12-1996

2.00

MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

Works 2.00 will work correctly on the DNA network only if the network startup switch /N is used, regardless of the directory location from which Works is being run. Normally the network switch is not required if you are loading Works from your personal user directory, but the DNA network requires the /N parameter.

The network startup switch /N, followed by the path to your normal user startup directory, tells Works where to look for your personal files (for example, typing WORKS /N F:tells Works to look for and update your personal files in the JOHNDOE directory). Examples of important user files that Works writes to your user startup directory are as follows:

WORKS.INI Works initialization file MACROS.INI Macro initialization file (macro definitions) WKALARM.INI Alarm Clock initialization file (alarm definitions) PERSONAL.DIC Personal dictionary WORKSLES.CHK Tutorial lessons TEMPLATE.* Template files for each Works module

The DNA network is a NetBIOS-compatible network using its own network cards and twisted pair cable.

For more information about the DNA network, contact DNA Networks, Inc. at the following address and phone number:

Microsoft has not tested Works with the DNA network, and therefore, cannot guarantee proper functionality.
