3 Running the
Tandem DDE Gateway
110838 Tandem Computers Incorporated 3–1
You must start the Tandem DDE Gateway before your client program can use DDE to
communicate with it. You can start the Tandem DDE Gateway from the Windows
Program Manager, the Windows File Manager, or your own client application.
If you have not specified the TdmgwConfigurationFile option in the WIN.INI file, you
must ensure that the current disk directory is set to the directory containing the
TDMGW.INI file before starting the Tandem DDE Gateway.
If you start the Tandem DDE Gateway with your client application, you will probably
want to make sure that it automatically connects to the Tandem system. For details on
how to set the TdmgwConfigurationFile option and/or automatically connect to the
Tandem system, see Section 2, “Workstation Configuration.”
To start the Tandem DDE Gateway, run the program TDMGW.EXE from the GW\
subdirectory.
