4 Installing Eloquence on the Windows 16 bit platform
Configuration of the GUI Server
The MS Windows GUI Server communicates with the Application Server via network. The Application Server needs the information concerning the servicename and the port number of the network connection. This servicename and the portnumber has to be configured on both systems. The GUI Server gets all necessary information from the eloq.ini file which has to be located on the system where the GUI Server is installed.
Customize the eloq.ini file
The MS Windows GUI Server uses the eloq.ini file to obtain its configuration. It must be located in your WINDOWS directory. A template eloq.ini file is saved at the installation directory in addition (C:\ELOQ by default).
You can use a text editor (such as MS DOS edit or Microsoft Windows Notepad) to modify the eloq.ini file.
The 'ini' File format
The file eloq.ini contains several sections, each containing a group of related configuration items. The sections and configuration items have the following format:
[Section]
Item=Value
Section is the name of a section. The enclosing brackets ([ ]) are required and they must start at the first column.
Item=Value defines a value of a configuration item. Item is the name of a configuration item. It consists of any sequence of characters (case insensitive) and digits followed by a equal sign (=). Depending on item type, the value may either be an integer or a string (optionally enclosed in double quotes).
Comment lines must start with a semicolon (;) in the first column.
