Description:
Configuring Turbo Pascal on Network Systems
First, it must be clear to users that network requirements are
not considered in the design or development of Turbo Pascal. The
intended target system is an IBM PC, AT, PS/2 or 100% compatible
with at least 448K of available DOS RAM, 5 megabytes hard disk
space, and at least one floppy drive.
Through years of use, it has been found that Turbo Pascal happens
to work satisfactorily on a number of network systems. The
following guidelines may be used if installation on a network
system is required.
o Install Turbo Pascal from the original diskettes from a
node with both Read and Write capability in the target
directory of the server.
o Ensure that all nodes requiring access to Turbo Pascal
have at least Read rights in the directory where Turbo
Pascal has been installed.
o Have each node run Turbo Pascal at a directory where both
Read and Write actions are allowed. Preferably, the
current directory would reside on a local drive or at
least a directory designated for use by only a single
node. It is to this private disk space that Turbo
Pascal's swap files and configuration files are to be
saved.
o Allow Turbo Pascal to create source and executable code
either on a local drive or at a directory designated for
use by only a single node. If programs are to be created
on a network, provide both Read and Write access to the
appropriate areas of the network drive.
Instructions for granting access rights for a particular network
system are found in documentation provided by its manufacturer.
Check with the System Administrator or the manufacturer for
specific information.
Before installing any software on a network, be certain that you
are licensed for each node able run the software simultaneously
with other nodes. If you are uncertain about any aspect of your
licensing, contact your local Borland office immediately.
