Before using AcuLaunch for thin client operation, you must create a single association file to hold all the information that will be needed to invoke the appropriate application on the server. This file is a text file in a format similar to ".ini" files.
To create the server alias file, log onto the server as the superuser (UNIX) or Administrator (Windows) and type:

When you execute "acurcl -alias" you are prompted for the necessary information. First, you are asked for the file to modify or create:
Enter the name of the Alias file: [/etc/acurcl.ini]
