ClarisImpact: Installation and Multi-Use from Novell NetWare Servers

Steps enabling you to multi-launch ClarisImpact from a Novell NetWare server

This information was provided by Claris Corporation on 16 March 1998, and incorporated into Apple Computer's Tech Info Library.

The following information is from Section E of the Important Information file that ships with ClarisImpact 2.0 for Macintosh:

If you intend to run ClarisImpact as a multi-user application from Novell NetWare servers or perform network installations from an installer located on the server, and you are using System 7.1 or 7.5, then you need to reset the shared bit for the installer and/or the ClarisImpact application. This bit is preset in ClarisImpact, but the setting is cleared when the files are copied to a NetWare server if you are using the system versions named above.

You can reset the shared bit using either of the following two methods:

Method 1
Using the NetWare Tools application, which comes with Novell NetWare for Macintosh:
1. Make sure you have access privileges to change files.
2. Log onto the server.
3. Start NetWare Tools.
4. Select File and Folder Flags from the Utility menu.
5. Select the ClarisImpact Installer, ClarisImpact - Macintosh, and/or ClarisImpact - Power Macintosh that you want to share.

6. Click Shareable.
7. Close the File and Folder Flags window.
8. Quit NetWare Tools.

Method 2
Using ResEdit:
1. Make sure you have access privileges to change files on the server.
2. Log onto the server.
3. Start ResEdit.
4. Select Get File/Folder Info from the File menu.
5. Select the ClarisImpact Installer, ClarisImpact - Macintosh, and/or ClarisImpact - Power Macintosh that you want to share.
6. Click both Shared and Invisible in the Info window.
7. Select Save from the File menu.
8. Deselect the Invisible checkbox.
