The following is the procedure that I used to setup Binkley/Maximus/Squish

under OS/2 2.0 :

1)Create a program template for startingup communications.

\os2\startup.cmd

---Starup.cmd---
Rem Always start the High speed lines first.
start /b /fs c:\bink\bink1
start /b /fs c:\binl\bink2
exit
---Starup.cmd--

2) Create a directory for each line of binkley that you are going to run.
I have listed two in the above example.

MD bink
MD binl
MD binm

3) Put the OS2 version of binkley into the primary directory (bink).

Copy all binkley.* to all other directories.
copy binkley.* c:\binl
copy binkley.* c:\binm

4) Make up batch files (.cmd) for bink1.cmd and bink2.cmd in the appropriate directories.
