Ok, I can get the registry settings to install, at least for whoever
happens to be logged into the Win95 PC when the installation occurs.
Since it is possible to have different 'user profiles' in Win95,
depending on how user profiles are configured, the Scopus installation
may not work properly for anyone else on a Win95 PC. If you've seen
more than one user use Netscape 2 on a Win95 PC with user profiles
enabled, you may be aware of the difficulties this will cause.
Current Scopus/Win95 users on shared PCs may have experienced some
oddities, depending on how user profiles are set up. If the Win95 PCs
are on a LAN and the administrator wants to use the very useful system
policies, user profiles have to be enabled. On stand alone PCs, they
are less useful (though some users may stil want them).
Current testers on shared Win95 PCs might want to look at how their user
profiles are set up, especially if they have to reconfigure each time a
new user uses the PC.
Anyhow, I've still got four more pages of registry keys to painstakingly
enter into the Wise system (it is not well adapted for the task). It'll
be done Real Soon Now.
