GHS-based programs need a small amount of additional set-up to run
properly under the Windows NT operating system. Follow one of the
instruction sections below to set up for running your specific program
(either GHS, BHS, BHSY, GLM Onboard, GLM Fleet, or Windows Manager
for GHS).
A. SETTING UP TO RUN GHS
From Windows Explorer, double-click the shortcut file "SETUPNT"
in your GHS directory (normally C:\GHS), follow the displayed instructions,
and enter "EXIT" to close the SETUPNT window. (If you
are reinstalling over an earlier version of GHS NT support, you
should still execute "SETUPNT" so the old version will
be removed and upgraded).
Finally, set up one or more pathways for running GHS under Windows
NT. If you want to run GHS from Windows Explorer, then follow instructions
for "Running GHS from a shortcut". If you want to run
GHS from a DOS command prompt, then follow instructions for "Running
GHS from DOS". Otherwise, look at "Other ways of running
GHS".
1) Running GHS from a shortcut
From Windows Explorer, copy the shortcut file "GHS" from
your GHS directory to your desktop. (You can do this by holding
the Ctrl key down while dragging, so the file is copied instead
of moved.)
You can now run GHS simply by double-clicking on this GHS desktop
icon.
(Only if your GHS directory is not C:\GHS, you'll need to right-click
the GHS icon, choose Properties, click the Program tab, update directories
in the Cmd Line and Working and Batch File fields, click the "Windows
NT..." button, update Autoexec Filename and Config Filename
fields, and click OK twice to finish. You'll also need to edit EXECGHS.BAT
in your GHS directory to replace "C:\GHS" with the correct
directory.)
2) Running GHS from DOS
From Windows Explorer, copy the shortcut file "GHSCMD"
from your GHS directory to your desktop. (You can do this by holding
the Ctrl key down while dragging, so the file is copied instead
of moved.)
You can now get a DOS command prompt based in your GHS directory
simply by double-clicking on this GHSCMD desktop icon, from which
you can run GHS, MC, or other programs by entering their names.
(Only if your GHS directory is not C:\GHS, you'll need to right-click
the GHSCMD icon and make the same modifications described above
for the GHS icon.)
3) Other ways of running GHS
The default DOS command processor that comes with Windows NT (namely
CMD.EXE) has a problem recognizing that GHS.EXE is not an OS/2 program,
so reports "GHS.EXE has a "bad executable format"
if you try to run it. For this reason, we recommend you use the
provided "GHSCMD" shortcut, as described above.
However, if you need to be able to run GHS from the default NT command
prompt, or need to double-click on batch files from Windows Explorer
that run GHS, then enter "SETUPNT COMMAND" from the GHS
directory. This gets around NT's problem by renaming GHS.EXE to
~GHS.EXE, creating a batch file GHS.BAT which causes FORCEDOS ~GHS.EXE
to happen when you type GHS.
You'll also need to make sure your GHS directory is on the path.
To do this, click the Start button, move your mouse over Settings,
click Control Panel, double-click the System icon, and click the
Environment tab. Check the User Variables table and click the variable
named "Path" (if you can't find it, click "Path"
in the System Variables table). Click the Value field and look for
the GHS directory using the arrow keys. If you find it, click the
Cancel button, because the GHS path is already set up properly.
If not, press the End key in the Value field, and enter a semicolon
(";") followed by the name of your GLM program directory
(normally C:\GHS). Click the Set button then the OK button to finish.
Log off by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Delete followed by the Logoff button.
GHS should now work properly when you next log on.
(If you've done "SETUPNT COMMAND" and also want to be
able to run the "GHS" shortcut, you'll need to right-click
on the GHS icon, choose Properties, click the Program tab, update
the Cmd line field to ~GHS.EXE, and click OK.)
To remove "SETUPNT COMMAND" support and restore GHS to
work under other operating systems besides Windows NT, enter REMOVENT
from your GHS directory.
B. SETTING UP TO RUN BHS
Use the same instructions for "Setting Up To Run GHS"
above, but keep in mind that "BHS" should be used everywhere
in place of "GHS", as follows:
GHS Term BHS Replacement
-------- ---------------
GHS program BHS program
GHS directory BHS directory
C:\GHS C:\BHS
EXECGHS.BAT EXECBHS.BAT
shortcut file "GHS" shortcut file "BHS"
shortcut file "GHSCMD" shortcut file "BHSCMD"
C. SETTING UP TO RUN BHSY
Use the same instructions for "Setting Up To Run GHS"
above, but keep in mind that "BHSY" should be used everywhere
in place of "GHS", as follows:
GHS Term BHSY Replacement
-------- ----------------
GHS program BHSY program
GHS directory BHSY directory
C:\GHS C:\BHSY
EXECGHS.BAT EXECBHSY.BAT
shortcut file "GHS" shortcut file "BHSY"
shortcut file "GHSCMD" shortcut file "BHSYCMD"
D. SETTING UP TO RUN GLM - ONBOARD SYSTEMS
From Windows Explorer, copy the shortcut file "GLM" from
your GLM program directory (normally C:\GLM\SYS) to your desktop.
(You can do this by holding the Ctrl key down while dragging, so
the file is copied instead of moved.)
You can now run GLM simply by double-clicking on this GLM desktop
icon.
(Only if your GLM program directory is not C:\GLM\SYS, you'll need
to right-click the GLM icon, choose Properties, click the Program
tab, update directories in the Cmd Line and Working and Batch File
fields, click the "Windows NT..." button, update Autoexec
Filename and Config Filename fields, and click OK twice to finish.
You'll also need to edit EXECGLM.BAT in your GLM program directory
to replace "C:\GLM\SYS" with the correct directory.)
E. SETTING UP TO RUN GLM - FLEET SYSTEMS
From Windows Explorer, double-click the shortcut file "SETUPGLM"
in your GLM program directory (normally C:\GHS), follow the displayed
instructions, and enter "EXIT" to close the SETUPGLM window.
Make sure your GLM program directory is on the path. To do this,
click the Start button, move your mouse over Settings, click Control
Panel, double-click the System icon, and click the Environment tab.
Check the User Variables table and click the variable named "Path"
(if you can't find it, click "Path" in the System Variables
table). Click the Value field and look for the GLM program directory
using the arrow keys. If you find it, click the Cancel button; the
GLM path is already set up properly.
If not, press the End key in the Value field, and enter a semicolon
(";") followed by the name of your GLM program directory
(normally C:\GHS). Click the Set button then the OK button to finish.
Log off by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Delete followed by the Logoff button.
GLM should now work properly when you next log on.
You can now run GLM for any vessel in your fleet from Windows Explorer
by double-clicking on the file GLM.BAT inside the subdirectory of
your GLM program directory devoted to that vessel (for example,
double-click on C:\GHS\SOPHIE\GLM.BAT to run GLM for the vessel
Sophie). You can also create a shortcut by holding down the Ctrl
and Alt keys while dragging the vessel's GLM.BAT onto your desktop.
F.
SETTING UP TO RUN WINDOWS MANAGER FOR GHS
From Windows
Explorer, double-click the shortcut file "SETUPNT" in
your GHS program directory, follow the displayed instructions, and
enter "EXIT" to close the SETUPNT window. Then copy the
shortcut file "GHS" from your GHS directory over to your
"\Program Files\Windows Manager for GHS v3" directory.
(You can do this by holding the Ctrl key down while dragging, so
the file is copied instead of moved.) Windows Manager for GHS should
now work properly. |
