BIM-EDIT/XP may be installed from a LAN server.  The following is one possible method of setting up the server so that each workstation can install BIM-EDIT/XP from the server (the server is assumed to be referenced by each workstation as the the F drive):

 

If BIM-EDIT/XP was not installed on the server, create the following directories:

 

         F:\BimEdit

         F:\BimEdit\Install

         F:\BimEdit\Site

         F:\BimEdit\Site\Compile

 

 

Copy all files on the BIM-EDIT/XP distribution diskette to directory F:\BimEdit\Install.

 

Create in directory F:\BimEdit a procedure Install.CMD containing the following lines:

 

         F:\BimEdit\Install\Install.CMD

         copy F:\BimEdit\Site\* C:\BimEdit\Site\*

         copy F:\BimEdit\Site\Compile\* C:\BimEdit\Site\Compile\*

 

 

Customized procedures and control files that are to apply to every workstation are created in F:\BimEdit\Site and F:\BimEdit\Site\Compile.

 

Any workstation can then install BIM-EDIT/XP by entering:

 

   f:\bimedit\install
