Welcome to Layered Athena.  This program is just a friendly front end
for the layer_athena program, which is run as a subprocess to actually
get anything done.

Please fill in the owner and location fields by first moving the mouse
cursor into the box (emacs-style editing commands apply).  The owner
should be the email address Information Systems may contact about this
workstation, and the location should be the physical location of the
workstation.

Next choose which subsets (groups of progams) you want to use.  We
suggest using one of the three buttons labeled with Minimal, Standard,
and Local Config(uration) to choose common groupings.  You may also
click on the box following the subset name to individually change
subsets.  Clicking on the question mark at the end of the line will
display a short description of that subset.

When you have all of this set the way you want it, click on "do it" at
the top.  After confirming your choice, the workstation will update
which will take several minutes.  Following this, you should reboot
the workstation for all new services to take effect.


ADDITIONAL FEATURES

You may configure one workstation like another by using the load and
save buttons in the file menu.  The "save extra copy" choice on the
options menu will tell this workstation to always keep a copy of its
configuration somewhere else, such as in a central repository.

Normally whenever you change the configuration of a Layered Athena
workstation, Information Systems will be notified.  You may turn this
off with the "register workstation" command in the options menu.  We
normally also allow network monitoring of the current configuration of
each workstation, which may be turned off with the "allow monitoring"
command.

The "autoupdate" command in the options menu controls whether this
workstation will automatically update to new Athena software when it
is available, or if manual action will be required.  If you do not
allow the workstation to update automatically, email will be sent to
the Owner informing them of the waiting update.  The customize
workstation option allows you to specify a script that is run at
update time to install local changes that you require.
