Configuring Your System

Set the StartBasic path for Desktop Application Menus

Section titled “Set the StartBasic path for Desktop Application Menus”

This applies to all operating systems.

The installation program does not update the Tbred.ini file with the necessary information to run with a local Host using Desktop Application Menus. Manually edit the Tbred.ini file, adding an entry similar to the one shown below to the [SERVERS] section, pointing to your installation path for Thoroughbred Basic:

[SERVERS]
startbasic=C:\Program Files (x86)Tbsc\B.exe iplweb.txt

Please refer to the WorkStation Manager manual located on the Thoroughbred website, http://www.thoroughbredsoftware.com/, under Documentation and then Reference Manuals.
