3.8 Using AcuServer's Graphical User Interface for Windows

Included on your installation media is a COBOL program called "NTSAcuSv.acu." In Windows environments, this program displays a graphical user interface (GUI) based on AcuServer's command-line requirements. By running the "NTSAcuSv.acu" program you can use a GUI to perform the same tasks that you would otherwise perform by issuing the acuserve command on the command line:

• Monitor a port for status
• Monitor a port for open files
• Install/Remove an AcuServer Service on any port
• Start/Stop AcuServer on any port
• Unlock stranded files
• Edit an Access File (Add, Change, Delete user security info)

The "NTSAcuSv" program is installed automatically when you install AcuServer. It comes with three files: NTSAcuSv.acu (the object code), NTSAcuSv.hlp (on-line help file), and NTSAcuSv.cnt (companion to the help file). All three files are installed in the same directory where the ACUCOBOL-GT software is installed, for example, c:\Acucorp\Acucbl5xxx\Acugt\Bin (where xxx is the version number).

For more information on using the graphical user interface program to run AcuServer on Windows NT or Windows 2000, open the on-line help file "NTSAcuSv.hlp" and read the documentation included.
