This document will outline the steps needed to set up CCI TERM to run on a PC running Windows 3.x, allowing for the flexibility of switching easily between CCITERM and another application.

  1. Copy the files CCITERM.EXE and CCITERM.CON from the host system running CCI Concurrent DOS or DR Multiuser DOS to a separate sub-directory (C:\CCITERM) on the PC terminal.
  2. Start Windows.
  3. Select the PIF Editor icon (press ENTER).
  4. Enter the program filename (CCITERM.EXE) and press TAB.
  5. Enter the Window Title (CCITERM) and press TAB.
  6. Enter optional parameters (if desired), or press TAB to skip the field.
  7. Enter the working directory for the CCITERM program (the drive and directory name created in step 1).
  8. Leave all other settings at their default parameters and click on the Advanced button (or press ALT-A).
  9. Leave all options at their default settings execept for the Other options. In the Reserve Shortcut Keys area, click on the box containing Ctrl+Esc. This will allow the user to return to the CCITERM main menu without invoking the Windows Task Manager command.
  10. Click on OK.
  11. Select File.
  12. Select Save As.
  13. Select the correct drive and directory from Step 1.
  14. In the File Name box, enter the file name for this information, letting Windows assign the extension PIF.
  15. Select the desired windows group in which CCITERM will be placed.
  16. Press ALT-F (or select File with your mouse).
  17. Select New (press ENTER).
  18. Select Program Item (press ENTER).
  19. Enter CCITERM and press TAB.
  20. At the Command line field, enter the filename CCITERM.PIF and press TAB.
  21. Enter the drive and directory where the files reside.
  22. Enter a shortcut key if desired.
  23. Choose the desired icon and press ENTER.
  24. Click on OK.

The chosen icon will now appear in the desired windows group. To activate the program, click on the icon  or type the first letter of the icon until the icon appears highlighted, then press ENTER.

Note for Windows advanced users:
The key combination of Ctrl-Esc which normally displays the Task Manager Window will NOT be active, due to CCITERM's use of this key combination to return to the main menu while on-line. The CCITERM exit key may be changed to another combination by pressing Shift-F10 from the Configuration Parameters screen. This option allows the customization of the exit key to the desired combination. This option should be only be used by EXPERIENCED CCI Concurrent DOS users or at the direction of the Technical Support Department. After the CCITERM exit key has been changed, use the PIF Editor to re-enable the Ctrl-Esc shortcut feature.
