======================================== Minuet and Multiple Users ( DOS ) ========================================

As e-mail becomes more popular, we are seeing more worksites where many people in the office have to share the same computer.

What do you need to do to have many users of Minuet on the same computer without placing multiple copies of Minuet on the hard disk?

1. Establish a DIRECT internet connection for the computer. (See separate instructions for using a SLIP connection.)

2. Register the computer with networking services for BOOTP service. This will allow for the automatic set-up of required networking configuration parameters (namely: IP, Net Mask, Name Servers, and Gateways).

3. Include C:\MINUET in the path statement.

4. Create the following one-line batch file and name it "min.bat"

c:\minuet\minuet /p=c:\mail\%1

To Set Up Each User ------------------- 1. Assign a unique 3-letter ID code to each user. A user's initials work well for this purpose. For example, Mortimer A. Snerd ---> MAS Jane B. Doe ---> JBD

2. The user types:

min HisOrHerInitials

for example:

min JBD

Minuet will automatically establish a separate subdirectory for the user in C:\MAIL\.

3. Set up Minuet as usual. That is, fill in the E-Mail Address and Password fields in the "Setup/User" dialog box. NOTE: Leave the Subdirectory for mail field EMPTY.

4. Each time you want to run Minuet type:

min HisOrHerInitials

To set up a second user, quit Minuet and type "min XYZ" where "XYZ" is the name or initials of the second user. (A new subdirectory is automatically created.) Go to the Setup/User menu in Minuet and enter the E-Mail Address and Password as usual. That's all there is to it!
