    Installing Expert Help on a Network:

    Each package of the Multi-User version of Expert Help grants you
    license to load the EH Engine on a single Network Server. The number
    of workstations that can access the server depends on the type of
    Network you are using. 

    To run Expert Help on a network, only two conditions must exist.

    1. You must have the EH Engine and Expert Help or Norton Guides
    help files installed at the server. (This allows shared access of the
    help files).

    2. Each workstation attached to the server must have its own copy of
    the EH Engine loaded in memory.


    Items to consider after installation:

    Environment Variables:
       Environment variables are instructions that are executed when 
       your computer boots itself. The two variables that Expert Help 
       uses are to be placed in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file that is located
       in your root directory (usually the C drive). These variables are
       provided for your convenience and are not required for Expert Help 
       to operate properly.

       The first variable is;

                SET EHINI=<path>

       This variable lets the Expert Help Engine know where to look for
       its configuration, help file list and screen swap files. This is 
       desirable in situations such as network use where you would want 
       to have separate configuration files for each user on the network.
        
       Note:
          In a network environment you are urged to use these 
          variables. Without the SET EHINI=<path> variable you will not be 
          able to have your own configuration file and help file list. 
          Also your swapped screen image may get destroyed.

       Example:
          If your Expert Help Engine (EH.EXE) is on drive C and your
          configuration files are to be kept in D:\CONFIG. You would add 
          the following line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

                SET EHINI=D:\CONFIG

       The second variable is;

                SET EHFILES=<path;path>

       This variable lets the Expert Help Engine know where to look for its 
       help files. The help files can be kept on any drive and in any 
       directory. Determine the directories where your (.NG) help files are 
       located in and add a line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT that is similar to 
       the one below:
       
       Example:
          SET EHFILES=C:\NG;C:\CLIP52;D:\F2

       Note: The directories are separated by a semi-colon.

       Expert Help will collect files in the following manner:

           1. All help files located in the SET EHFILES=<paths>.

           2. All files from the home directory where the Expert Help 
              Engine is located.

       Note on variables:
          The Expert Help environment variables are read once at the 
          time Expert Help is loaded into memory. If you change a variable
          you must also unload and reload Expert Help in order for the 
          changes to take effect.


    Once installed, use Expert Help according to the instructions con-
    tained in this manual.
