! 16: \capa\ {\bf via X-WIN32}\footnote{\scriptsize \it
! 17: X-WIN32 \copyright StarNet Communications}
! 18: \\ [10pt]
! 19: {\bf NOTE:} These instructions are for using X-WIN32 (v4.1.2) in connection
! 20: with a DEC Alpha host running OSF1 and may differ depending upon your host
! 21: machine and operating system.
! 22: \vskip 0.02in
! 23: {\bf Procedure}
! 24: \vskip 0.02in
! 25: \begin{itemize}
! 26: \item To set up X-WIN32 to automatically open upon start-up of your PC:
! 27: \begin{enumerate}
! 28: \item Install the X-WIN32 software on your machine.
! 29: \item Once the software has completed its installation, a small
! 30: window appears which contains
! 31: two shortcut icons.
! 32: \item Open the path {\sl C:/Winnt/Profiles/Username/Start
! 33: Menu/Programs/Startup} from the ``My Computer'' icon.
! 34: \item Drag the shortcuts into the Startup folder.
! 35: \item When you reboot your machine, X-WIN32 will execute upon
! 36: startup.
! 37: \end{enumerate}
! 38: \item From the toolbar, choose X-Win (blue), choose Sessions, then
! 39: choose XDMCP-broadcast. This will
! 40: generate a listing of all machines able to run XDMCP mode.
! 41: \item Open the X-Win Utilities (green). An ``X-Win32 Utility'' window appears. Choose \fbox{Sessions}, then choose \fbox{New Session}.
! 42: \item Enter the name you wish to use for your session. Example: {\tt
! 43: capa3}
! 44: \item Check the button in front of ``XDMCP''.
! 45: \item Make sure \fbox{Query} is checked. Enter the hostname.
! 46: Example: {\tt capa3.nscl.msu.edu}
! 47: \item Select {Save}
! 48: \item From the same ``X-Win32 Utility'' window, click on
! 49: \fbox{Options} then \fbox{Window Settings}
! 50: and make sure that ``Multiple'' is selected. For operating systems in which the background is necessary (Linux Debian for example), check the option ``switch to single window'' under
! 51: ``window settings''.
! 52: \item You can now run your X-Server sessions by clicking on X-Win
! 53: (blue), choosing Sessions, and choosing the
! 54: session name you have just created. Your screen should then appear
! 55: exactly as if you were sitting at the
! 56: monitor of your host machine with your Windows-NT desktop in the
! 57: background. If you chose the option ``switch to single window'' in the step above, a large window should appear which looks exactly as if you were sitting at the monitor of your host machine.
! 58: \item Open up an xterm and enter {\tt quizzer} at the prompt.
! 59: \item The {\sf Quizzer} main menu will appear in the upper
! 60: left-hand corner of your screen. You can
! 61: edit and preview your files through the {\sf Quizzer} application.
! 62: Be certain to quit the {\sf Quizzer}
! 63: application when you are finished editing.

! 67: \\ [10pt]
! 68: \vskip -.05 in
! 69: These instructions are for using eXceed Version 4.0 from a PC
! 70: running Windows-NT\footnote{\scriptsize \it Windows-NT \copyright Microsoft Corporation} in connection with a DEC Alpha host running OSF1 and may differ
! 71: depending upon your host machine and operating system. {\bf Note:} The following instructions for eXceed have not been updated since the CAPA 4.6 Manual.
! 72: \vskip 0.02in
! 73: {\bf Procedure}
! 74: \vskip 0.02in

! 91: \end{enumerate}
! 92: \item To set up your \capa\ server as an xhost: Two methods:
! 93: \begin{enumerate}
! 94: \item The simplest way is to leave the host.txt file in eXceed
! 95: as deactivated. This allows connection with any host as X-server.
! 96: \item If you wish, you can specify each host by creating the
! 97: host.txt file in eXceed.
! 98: \begin{enumerate}
! 99: \item From the Windows-NT main menu bar, choose

! 106: clicking on the associated radio button.
! 107: \item You can choose to edit this file and add your
! 108: hostname. Remember to save the
! 109: host.txt file after you have finished editing it.
! 110: \item This allows your machine to connect with only the
! 111: hosts listed in the host.txt
! 112: file.
! 113: \end{enumerate}
! 114: \end{enumerate}
! 115: \item To run a telnet session through eXceed:
! 116: \begin{enumerate}
! 117: \item From the Windows-NT main menu bar, choose Start, choose
! 118: Programs, choose Exceed, choose
! 119: htelnet. From the menu bar, choose File, then Create Shortcut.
! 120: Drag the Shortcut you have just created to the Desktop.
! 121: \item Double click on the shortcut you have just created to
! 122: open a telnet session into your
! 123: host machine.
! 124: \item The Connect pop-up screen appears. In the field ``host",
! 125: enter your host name. Example: {\tt capa3.nscl.msu.edu}
! 126: \item Select OK.
! 127: \item You will then see your Telnet window with the {\tt
! 128: login:} prompt displayed.
! 129: \item Login to your host as you normally would for a telnet
! 130: session.
! 131: \item You must then command your host to display to your local
! 132: machine by entering the command \\ {\tt setenv DISPLAY
! 133: 35.8.33.131:0.0} \\ {\bf Note:} Enter the IP address of the
! 134: machine you are using. For this example, 35.8.33.131 is used.
! 135: You can, if you wish, create an alias for this command by
! 136: editing your .cshrc file in your login directory.
! 137: \item You can now run the {\sf Quizzer} application by entering {\tt quizzer} at the telnet prompt.
! 138: \item The {\sf Quizzer} main menu will appear in the upper
! 139: left-hand corner of your screen. You can edit and preview
! 140: your files through the
! 141: {\sf Quizzer} application. Be certain to quit the {\sf Quizzer}
! 142: application when you are finished editing.
! 143: \end{enumerate}
! 144: \item To map the shortcut keys for {\sf Quizzer}:
! 145: \begin{enumerate}
! 146: \item From the Windows-NT main menu bar, choose \fbox{Start}, choose
! 147: \fbox{Programs}, choose \fbox{Exceed}, then choose \fbox{X-Config}.
