VERSION: This applies to Exceed versions 7.0, 7.0+, 8.0, 9.0

DISCUSSION:

In order to configure Exceed to run multiple CDE sessions in version 7.x - 9.x you need to do the following:

1. Run Xsession by clicking on Start, Programs, Hummingbird Connectivity xx, Exceed, Xsession.
2. Click on "New Program".
3. Select Windows App for the Program Type and then click OK.
4. You should now be looking at a window titled "Untitled - Wstart". You can also get here by running wstart.exe directly. Click on the Browse button and look for exceed.exe (C:\Program Files\Hummingbird\Connectivity\8.00\Exceed\exceed.exe). Select and click Open.

   Your command line should have something like:

   C:\Program Files\Hummingbird\Connectivity\8.00\Exceed\exceed.exe

   Add

   -d 1 -m query -h xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -w single

   NOTE: -d = display number. Additional shortcuts to other hosts must have a different display number.

   -m = xdmcp mode set to query.

   -h = hostname or ipaddress. (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx stands for ipaddress).

   -w = window mode set to single.

   -n = Title for the Session.

5. Your command line should then have something like:

   C:\Program Files\Hummingbird\Connectivity\8.00\Exceed\exceed.exe -d 1 -m query -h myhost -w single -n MyHost

6. Go to File Menu and select Save As.
7. Select a Filename with .ws extension and save it to the default directory.

You can then create shortcuts to the individual wstart files and you will be able to connect to your various hosts.

To launch multiple CDE sessions at the same time, you will create an Xsession (*.ses) file.

In the Xsession window, select the *.ws files from the top pane of the window and click on the "Add" button.

Disable the "Run X Server" button and then save this new Xsession file. You may then create a shortcut for this Xsession file. When launched it will give you your various CDE sessions.
