Installing on a Client/Server Network
 
Use the following instructions to install Peachtree Accounting on a client/
server network, such as Novell 4.x or above. Use the same instructions to 
install Peachtree Accounting on each workstation, specifying the server as the 
location for data files and the local hard drive as the location for program files. 
Installing the Peachtree Accounting program files to each workstation’s local 
hard drive (for example, C:\PEACHW) improves performance and speed.
Before beginning this procedure, it is assumed that you have a shared network 
drive established and that workstations are mapped to this network drive.
