Chapter 3. Configuring Your
VMjPC
System
The
Configuration File
One of the files that is copied
to
your C disk when
VM/PC
is
installed
is
called the Configuration file.
It
contains
information about the way you want to use
VM/PC
and
about the files and other resources you want
VM/PC
to use.
This information, which
is
read every time you run the
VM/PC
sessions, includes the following:
• The names
of
the
VM/PC
programs and files as well as
the drive
on
which to find them (This gives you the
ability to rename them
or
move them to a disk other than
your C disk.)
• The names (USERIDs)
of
those allowed
to
use the Local
3277
Session
•
For
each user named,
A password
to
prove identity
The size of the
370 virtual machine
The number and size of any minidisks owned
by
the
user
The names
of
other users' minidisks that the user
needs
to
access (This is called "linking.")
•
The amount
of
printer spooling activity
to
expect
• Which options and automatic features of
VM/PC
to use
Because of the information in the Configuration file, it
is
possible to have several people use the same
VM/PC
system
without damaging each other's files. Also, a single minidisk
can
be
shared
by
several users, making it unnecessary for
