Question:
What should I set the directories
A through E to?
Answer:
Directory A is set to the
Verdict data directory. For
example, C:\Program Files\MicroCraft\Verdict9\Data
or F:\Verdict10\Data. Ideally,
Directories B and C (for snapping
out and in) would both be
set to a zip drive or a subdirectory
on the network if all operators
have access to the network.
If a zip drive or network
isn't available, Directories
B and C are both set to the
same subdirectory on the C:
drive. For example, C:\Snap.
Directories D & E are
both set to the A: drive unless
you want to Transfer in and
out over a network.
Question:
If the Snap directory is set
to C:\Snap, and the Verdict
operator snaps out data, how
do the LegalPad operators on
other computers get the information.
Answer:
After the Verdict operator
snaps out data to C:\Snap,
he/she then uses Windows Copy
& Paste to copy the data
in the Snap directory to disks
in the A: drive. If any of
the files is too large to
fit on a floppy disk, he/she
uses Windows Backup to back
up the data to disks in the
A: drive. (Windows backup
compresses the data files
so they will fit.) Then the
LegalPad operators on other
computers make a C:\Snap directory
on their computers. The data
is copied or restored into
their C:\Snap directory. After
the data is put in the Snap
directory, they can go to
the Data Exchange screen in
LegalPad and snap the data
in to their LegalPad. Note
that there is also a program
called Winzip which can be
used to compress data files
into a smaller size so that
the data can be put on a floppy
disk for easy transfer to
other computers.You can also
use a writeable CD.
Question:
Can I transfer out entries from
LegalPad to a subdirectory
on the network?
Answer:
Yes, if you want to, but it
certainly seems easier to
just transfer the entries
to a floppy disk in the A:
drive. If you transfer entries
to a subdirectory on the network,
each LegalPad operator has
to have his/her own subdirectory
for transferring entries.
You cannot transfer all LegalPad
entries from many computers
into one subdirectory. This
makes a lot of work for the
Verdict operator. The Verdict
operator has to set Directory
E to the first subdirectory
and transfer in data from
the first LegalPad operator,
then set Directory E to the
next subdirectory and transfer
in data from the second LegalPad
operator, and so forth. It's
just so much easier to transfer
out and in from a disk in
the A: drive.
