   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
   75: 	\begin{itemize}
   76: 	\item  To set up eXceed to automatically open upon start-up of your PC:
   77: 		\begin{enumerate}
   78: 		\item  Install the software following the directions from the
   79: 		producer.  
   80: 		\item  Open the path {\sl C:/Winnt/Profiles/Username/Start
   81: 		Menu/Programs/Startup}  from `My Computer'.  
   82: 		\item  Open the path {\sl C:/Winnt/Profiles/Username/Start
   83: 		Menu/Programs} 
   84: 		\item  Highlight the eXceed.exe by single clicking on it.  From
   85: 		the menu bar choose \fbox{File}, then

   88: 		folder you opened previously.
   89: 		\item  When you reboot your machine, eXceed will execute upon
   90: 		startup.
   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 
  100: 			\fbox{Start},
  101: 			choose \fbox{Programs}, choose \fbox{Exceed}, then 
  102: 			choose \fbox{X-Config}.
  103: 			\item  Double click on the Security icon.  
  104: 			\item  A pop-up menu will appear where you can specify
  105: 			using the host.txt file by
  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

  150: 		choices for the Alt key.
  151: 		\item  You can choose to have either the left or right Alt key
  152: 		function for your shortcut key in
  153: 		{\sf Quizzer}, {\sf Grader}, and/or {\sf Manager}.
