Hi Bob,

Let's start from the beginning ... The following explanations use UV 
10.1 and some of the names may have changed with the transition to 
Rocket Software rather than IBM.

Start > Programs > IBM U2 > UniAdmin > UniAdmin starts the 
administration utility. You may need to set up the server first using 
Connect > New. Use 127.0.0.1 for the server name, define it as UniVerse 
and then click on Register.

Then double-click on the server in the list of servers, enter your 
username and password, and you should see the tree of actions available 
within the administrator.

Double-click on accounts, and you should open a window showing the 
accounts already defined on the system. Select an account, and click on 
the detail button. That will show (amongst other things) what flavour 
the account is. You can't change it here - you set it when you create 
the account (but I'm sure there is some way to change it after the 
creation).

I'd suggest creating a new account set to PICK flavour so you can try that.

User manuals should be at Start > Programs > IBM U2 > ??? - if you've 
installed them. If you haven't got them, they are available at: 
http://www.rocketsoftware.com/u2/resources/technical-resources/universe

You mention UniVerse Shell and UniVerse control panel. UniVerse control 
panel literally just starts and stops the UniVerse services - nothing 
else. UniVerse Shell is extremely limited - it is intended for basic 
administrative tasks only, and not as a real client. You really need 
other client software.

The basic choice is to use Dynamic Connect (part of the UniVerse clients 
package), but you would be better off downloading a copy of AccuTerm and 
requesting a personal licence. You'll then need to configure whichever 
client (terminal emulator) you use to talk to the UniVerse server. Check 
which port the UVTelnet server is using in UniAdmin (under Network 
Services) and configure your client to use that port.

After that, you should be able to log onto the UniVerse account that you 
created using UniAdmin.

The alternative way to create an account (I think) is simply to create a 
folder with Windows Explorer, and then in UV: LOGTO folderlocation

UniVerse should then prompt you along the lines of: This location is not 
set up as a UV account. Do you want to create an account? And it will 
probably prompt you for the flavour as well.

Hopefully, that will get you started. The OpenQM books I referred you to 
earlier will step you through much of this basic installation and much 
of that is relevant to UniVerse.

Cheers,

Brian

PS I'm from NZ but live in the UK
