The Configurator Program
The Configurator is a specialized editor for the
Configuration file.
It
guides you through the information on
the file and allows you to display or modify whatever you
want. With this editor you can define new CMS minidisks,
extend old ones, define new VM/PC users, delete old ones,
define your local printer spooling options, inform VM/PC of
new system definitions, etc.
The Configurator will also let you define a password so that
only those who know the password can use the Configurator.
Starting the Configurator Program
The Configurator program runs directly under the control of
DOS. So if you have installed VM/PC as instructed in
Chapter 2, simply prepare your system so that the prompt of
C> indicates that DOS is ready, and enter "VMPCCON."
DOS will then load the Configurator program
(VMPCCON.EXE) and the IBM logo and copyright screen
will be displayed.
Note: The Configurator program will always look for the
Configuration file (CONFIG.IVM) on the DOS default
drive (that is, the C drive if the prompt is C». The
Configurator uses a work file named CONFIG.UTI.
If
you
have a file by this name on the default drive, you will be
prompted for permission to erase it.
Using the Configurator
After starting the Configurator (which uses the standard,
PC/XT keyboard layout), press the ENTER key to
continue.
You will see a message indicating that the Configurator is
reading the Configuration file.

not exist, the Configurator will provide defaults from which
you can build a new Configuration file. However, using the
