Please skip this long paragraph (go down to: ISLV.INI) unless ? your computer has been in the hands of one skilled in customizing computing environments. We first need to locate a file called (on UNIX: ?.islvrc?) on Win&OS/2: ?ISLV.INI?. This initialization file must be located (if under DOS,Win or OS/2) on a local hard drive. Do a search/Find/Seek to ensure that there is only one file by this name on your system. If there are multiple versions, check their ?last modified? dates. Any one (or more) of them could be active. Perhaps some were created and used only one time. Perhaps multiple versions of VM were installed on this computer. By default, the active version is most likely located in your UNIX home directory; or in Win95 - the C:\Win95\; or under WinNT - C:\Winnt\. Open each one for browsing. By looking at the ?last modified? dates, relative file sizes , and their locations, it is usually possible to tell which ?ISLV.INI-or-.islvrc? file is the active one. If still unclear, (or to double-check) open up a Term/DOS box and check your environmental variables. In DOS type ? SET ?. Look for ?ISLVINI=? This parameter probably does not exist. But if it has been set , this is where VM will go to find the ?islv.ini? file. If ?ISLVINI=? is not present, then look for ?WINDIR=?. This is where VM will look in Win95/98/NT. Under UNIX, look for ?HOME=?. The ?ISLV.INI-or-.islvrc? file initiates the calls to all other VM key files which follow, as listed below.
