ACCOUNTING SOFTWARE UniLink (Write UP*Plus) 


Compatibility Statement:
UniLink Write Up*Plus v6.1 accounting package has been tested as
compatible with LANtastic versions 4.xx and 5.xx. This bulletin has
been designed to help with the installation and setup of this
product. 

Product Overview:
The Unilink family of Accounting modules have been designed for
both the accounting professional and the single business user.
Modules interact and include time and billing, general ledger,
after-the-fact and active payroll, accounts payable and receivable,
interest calculations and bank account check writing and
reconciliation.

Installing UniLink Write Up*Plus:
The machine on which Write Up*Plus will be installed must be
configured as a LANtastic network server, and will be referred to
as the UniLink server. The UniLink server and all workstations must
use the same network drive letter to access the UniLink software
and accounting information. By way of example, for this bulletin,
the UniLink system will be installed on physical drive C: over a
redirected LANtastic network drive U:.

At the UniLink server:

 Net Login \\<UniLink Server> <Username> <Password>
 Net Use U: \\<UniLink Server>\C-DRIVE

Insert UniLink software disk #1 in the floppy drive and from the
floppy prompt type 

 INSTALL n

Be sure to designate the target drive as U: and respond "Yes" to
the Network Drive prompt. Follow the remaining prompts as explained
in the UniLink Installation Guide. The installation procedure will
not ask for network type.

Configuration:
After successful installation, perform the following steps at the
UniLink server:

 Cd \UL60
 Attrib +R *.*
 Attrib -R *.DAT
 Attrib -R *.PRD

Start the UniLink accounting software and define the system users
and optional module privileges following the steps outlined in the
UniLink System Administrator's Guide. It is recommended that DOS
Share be loaded on the UniLink server.


Access to UniLink from a LANtastic workstation: To use the Unilink
system from a LANtastic workstation, perform the following steps:

 Net Login \\<UniLink Server> <Username> <Password> 
 Net Use U: \\<UniLink Server>\C-DRIVE\UL60 
 U:
 UL

Security:
Security may become an issue when sharing data among multiple users
on a network. Following the UniLink System Administrator's Guide,
four levels of security can be implemented, from relaxed to
extremely restrictive.


Multi-User Limitations:
System Administrator - It is recommended that only one System
Administrator change the system configuration or security at a
time. It is possible that if concurrent modifications are being
made, some changes may be lost.

UniLink Client - Only one user may be entering data in a UniLink
accounting client at a time. Additional users attempting to access
a currently selected client will be locked out with the error
message "PR file cannot be opened, Press any key".

Report Printing:
Before starting the UniLink package, issue the NET USE command
through the operating system to establish a printer connection and
inform UniLink (through the System Configuration Menu) which
redirected port to send output to. For example:

 Net Use LPT1 \\<Printer Server>\@PRINTER
