Passing the User Name when Starting Platinum
This methodology is used primarily by users of non-Novell networks and users starting Platinum from Windows. Windows users should define a PIF using the -1 parameter to access the maximum amount of memory.
Verify the PLT.CFG as follows:
Y BTRIEVEN /M:64/P:1536/F:125/e/o
Change line 6 of the NETSTART.BAT as follows:
Line 1: echo off
Line 2: echo Starting Platinum (Multi User) ...
Line 3: set Platinum_Shell=Platinum Shell -
Line 4: utload1
Line 5: rem Btrieve parameters are set in PLT.CFG
Line 6: PLT /USER:user_name %1 %2 . . .
Individual batch files would be necessary for each user in Platinum with their login-name in place of user_name on line 6 above. For example, for user Anne PLT/USER:ANNE would be set up under the batch file ANNE.BAT.
If defining a PIF in Windows the command line would be x:\PLAITNUM\NETSTART.BAT. Where x: is the drive where Platinum is installed.
And in the Optional Parameters box specify /USER:user_name.
