This section describes examples for using a PC or a Macintosh computer to edit files and run the {\sf Quizzer} application. \begin{itemize} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \item{\bf Running } \capa\ {\bf via X-WIN32}\footnote{\scriptsize \it X-WIN32 \copyright StarNet Communications} \\ [10pt] {\bf NOTE:} These instructions are for using X-WIN32 (v4.1.2) in connection with a DEC Alpha host running OSF1 and may differ depending upon your host machine and operating system. \vskip 0.02in {\bf Procedure} \vskip 0.02in \begin{itemize} \item To set up X-WIN32 to automatically open upon start-up of your PC: \begin{enumerate} \item Install the X-WIN32 software on your machine. \item Once the software has completed its installation, a small window appears which contains two shortcut icons. \item Open the path {\sl C:/Winnt/Profiles/Username/Start Menu/Programs/Startup} from the ``My Computer'' icon. \item Drag the shortcuts into the Startup folder. \item When you reboot your machine, X-WIN32 will execute upon startup. \end{enumerate} \item From the toolbar, choose X-Win (blue), choose Sessions, then choose XDMCP-broadcast. This will generate a listing of all machines able to run XDMCP mode. \item Open the X-Win Utilities (green). An ``X-Win32 Utility'' window appears. Choose \fbox{Sessions}, then choose \fbox{New Session}. \item Enter the name you wish to use for your session. Example: {\tt capa3} \item Check the button in front of ``XDMCP''. \item Make sure \fbox{Query} is checked. Enter the hostname. Example: {\tt capa3.nscl.msu.edu} \item Select {Save} \item From the same ``X-Win32 Utility'' window, click on \fbox{Options} then \fbox{Window Settings} 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 ``window settings''. \item You can now run your X-Server sessions by clicking on X-Win (blue), choosing Sessions, and choosing the session name you have just created. Your screen should then appear exactly as if you were sitting at the monitor of your host machine with your Windows-NT desktop in the 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. \item Open up an xterm and enter {\tt quizzer} at the prompt. \item The {\sf Quizzer} main menu will appear in the upper left-hand corner of your screen. You can edit and preview your files through the {\sf Quizzer} application. Be certain to quit the {\sf Quizzer} application when you are finished editing. \end{itemize} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \item{\bf Running} \capa\ {\bf via eXceed}\footnote{\scriptsize \it eXceed \copyright Hummingbird Communications, Ltd.} \\ [10pt] \vskip -.05 in These instructions are for using eXceed Version 4.0 from a PC running Windows-NT\footnote{\scriptsize \it Windows-NT \copyright Microsoft Corporation} in connection with a DEC Alpha host running OSF1 and may differ 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. \vskip 0.02in {\bf Procedure} \vskip 0.02in \begin{itemize} \item To set up eXceed to automatically open upon start-up of your PC: \begin{enumerate} \item Install the software following the directions from the producer. \item Open the path {\sl C:/Winnt/Profiles/Username/Start Menu/Programs/Startup} from `My Computer'. \item Open the path {\sl C:/Winnt/Profiles/Username/Start Menu/Programs} \item Highlight the eXceed.exe by single clicking on it. From the menu bar choose \fbox{File}, then \fbox{Create Shortcut}. \item Drag the Shortcut you have just created into the Startup folder you opened previously. \item When you reboot your machine, eXceed will execute upon startup. \end{enumerate} \item To set up your \capa\ server as an xhost: Two methods: \begin{enumerate} \item The simplest way is to leave the host.txt file in eXceed as deactivated. This allows connection with any host as X-server. \item If you wish, you can specify each host by creating the host.txt file in eXceed. \begin{enumerate} \item From the Windows-NT main menu bar, choose \fbox{Start}, choose \fbox{Programs}, choose \fbox{Exceed}, then choose \fbox{X-Config}. \item Double click on the Security icon. \item A pop-up menu will appear where you can specify using the host.txt file by clicking on the associated radio button. \item You can choose to edit this file and add your hostname. Remember to save the host.txt file after you have finished editing it. \item This allows your machine to connect with only the hosts listed in the host.txt file. \end{enumerate} \end{enumerate} \item To run a telnet session through eXceed: \begin{enumerate} \item From the Windows-NT main menu bar, choose Start, choose Programs, choose Exceed, choose htelnet. From the menu bar, choose File, then Create Shortcut. Drag the Shortcut you have just created to the Desktop. \item Double click on the shortcut you have just created to open a telnet session into your host machine. \item The Connect pop-up screen appears. In the field ``host", enter your host name. Example: {\tt capa3.nscl.msu.edu} \item Select OK. \item You will then see your Telnet window with the {\tt login:} prompt displayed. \item Login to your host as you normally would for a telnet session. \item You must then command your host to display to your local machine by entering the command \\ {\tt setenv DISPLAY 35.8.33.131:0.0} \\ {\bf Note:} Enter the IP address of the machine you are using. For this example, 35.8.33.131 is used. You can, if you wish, create an alias for this command by editing your .cshrc file in your login directory. \item You can now run the {\sf Quizzer} application by entering {\tt quizzer} at the telnet prompt. \item The {\sf Quizzer} main menu will appear in the upper left-hand corner of your screen. You can edit and preview your files through the {\sf Quizzer} application. Be certain to quit the {\sf Quizzer} application when you are finished editing. \end{enumerate} \item To map the shortcut keys for {\sf Quizzer}: \begin{enumerate} \item From the Windows-NT main menu bar, choose \fbox{Start}, choose \fbox{Programs}, choose \fbox{Exceed}, then choose \fbox{X-Config}. \item Double click on the Input icon. \item There will be displayed a pull-down menu to set the choices for the Alt key. \item You can choose to have either the left or right Alt key function for your shortcut key in {\sf Quizzer}, {\sf Grader}, and/or {\sf Manager}. \end{enumerate} \end{itemize} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \item{\bf Running} \capa\ {\bf via MacX}\footnote{\scriptsize \it MacX \copyright Apple Computer, Inc. All rights reserved.} \\ [10pt] {\bf NOTE:} These instructions are for using MacX Version 1.5 in connection with a DEC Alpha host running OSF1 and may differ depending upon your host machine and operating system. \vskip 0.02in {\bf Procedure} \vskip 0.02in \begin{enumerate} \item Double click on MacX1.5 icon. \item Got to \fbox{Edit} and select \fbox{XDMCP Preferences} \item An ``XDMCP Preferences'' window pops up. In the ``Type of Query'' box, select \fbox{Broadcast}. Then select the button that says ``User selects From a List of Responding Hosts''. \item Click \fbox{Execute Now}. \item A list of all the machines you are networked to will appear. \item Click \fbox{File} then save to desktop to make an icon. \item In the list, click on the machine where /capa/ is located and then click \fbox{select}. \item Login to your /capa server. Open up a terminal and type {\tt quizzer} to begin the {\sf Quizzer} application. You can start the other items by entering the appropriate command at the prompt (i.e. {\tt grader}, {\tt manager}, etc.). \item The next time you need to access \capa, double click on your broadcast icon and select your machine. \end{enumerate} \end{itemize}
