The Configurator Program
The Configurator
is
a specialized editor for the
Configuration file.
It
guides you through the information
on
the file and allows you to display
or
modify whatever you
want. With this editor you can define new
CMS minidisks,
extend old ones, define new
VM/PC
users, delete old ones,
define your local printer spooling options, inform
VM/PC
of
new system definitions, etc.
The
Configurator will also let you define a password so
that
only those who know the password can use the Configurator.
Starting the Configurator Program
The Configurator program runs directly under the control
of
DOS. So if you have installed
VM/PC
as instructed in
Chapter 2, simply prepare your system so that the prompt of
C>
indicates that DOS
is
ready, and enter
"VMPCCON."
DOS will then load the Configurator program
(VMPCCON.EXE) and the IBM logo and copyright screen
will
be
displayed.
Note: The Configurator program will always look for the
Configuration file
(CONFIG.IVM)
on
the
DOS default
drive (that is, the C drive if the prompt is
C».
The
Configurator uses a work file named
CONFIG.UTI.
If
you
have a file by this name
on
the default drive, you will
be
prompted for permission
to
erase it.
Using the Configurator
After starting the Configurator (which uses the standard,
PC/XT
keyboard layout), press the
ENTER
key to
continue.
You will see a message indicating
that
the Configurator
is
reading the Configuration file.
Note:
If,
for whatever reason, the Configuration file does
not
exist, the Configurator will provide defaults from which
you can build a new Configuration file. However, using the
