QUESTIONS Message-ID: Date: 17 Jan 90 21:55:48 GMT Sender: Novell LAN Interest Group Reply-To: Novell LAN Interest Group Lines: 45 Approved: NETNEWS@PSUVM Gateway Before I ask my next "series" of questions, I would like to thank all of you who have responded to my previous inquiries. You have really helped tremendously! Anyway, the following questions relate to networks which have been installed in student labs. Each file server is an IBM PS/2 Model 80-111, running Novell SFT V2.15C and MAC VAP 1.1. 1. Lotus 123 - Before installing the network various students created spreadsheets using a "student version" of 123. The network now uses a "real" version (2.01). When trying to use previously created spreadsheets, the system replies that the spreadsheet cannot be accessed. Any ideas? Would the translate program solve this problem? 2. LanSpool - Is there any way to automatically load LanSpool from a specific workstation? Currently, to activate Lanspool, you must login to the "controlling workstation" using a login name which loads NODE. Students are intermittently rebooting these controlling workstations, causing LanSpool to be deactivated. Is there any way that NODE could be executed as part of a startup/reboot process? 3. Macintosh System Folder - Is there any way to place the MAC system folder on the file server and not use startup diskettes? Reasons: (1) We would like to load various fonts and have found no room to do so, (2) virus protection, (3) avoid checking out diskettes to students. 4. Hypercard - Can Hypercard be installed with ROS rights only? The only way I have been able to get Hypercard to function is to also give "W" rights. Obviously, this is not my first choice. Any suggestions? 5. Virus - Has anyone out there had problems with MAC viruses infecting your file server? If Hypercard will only function with ROWS rights, can I expect to have virus problems? I apologize for the wide variety of questions here, but would appreciate any suggestions! Thank you! Marty Mark University of Northern Iowa
