An SCO Technical White Paper Version 2.1.2 as a metaphor for the underlying system so that files and directories appear as file and folder icons on the desktop. Users still have access to file permissions and other information, but much of the cryptic or complex nature of UNIX is shielded from them. Desktop Windows The SCO UnixWare Desktop Window The “SCO UnixWare Desktop” window appears by default upon login, presenting the user with icons for all of the files, folders (representing directories), applications and utilities that come with SCO UnixWare: 34 • Admin Tools: utilities for system administration • Applications: text editors, command line shells, mail, remote logins, DOS and Windows applications, etc. • Disks-etc: access to tapes, CD ROM and diskettes • Games: Xtetris and Puzzle • Mailbox: Mail application, saved mail, files transferred via uucp • NetWare: access to NetWare servers • Preferences: tools to customize your Desktop • Folder Map: tools to graphically view and manage the file system • Help Desk: on-line help and documentation for each icon • Shutdown: utility to gracefully shutdown the system • Wastebasket: “deleted” files

The Admin Tools Folder [desktop/Admin_Tools] SCO UnixWare 2.1 App_Installer - Provides a graphical interface to standard UNIX software packaging interface (pkgadd). This will install application from Corel Draw to Oracle ® databases using a consistent interface. App_Sharing - allow users to share applications over the network to other SCO UnixWare systems by simply dragging and dropping. Backup-Restore - provides a graphical way for users to do full or partial backups of the SCO UnixWare system. Display_Setup - allows users to change the screen resolution of their SCO UnixWare 2.1 desktop and automatically detects the graphics chip-sets that are used on the video board. Extra_Admin - allows users access to certain legacy administration tools commonly used on earlier UNIX releases. It provides a menu-driven interface to the UNIX sysadm environment. Hardware_Setup - allows the administrator to view and change hardware driver setting (like IRQs, RAM addresses and DMA channel settings). Icon_Setup - create icons for applications or commands on the system. It also allows users to customize how the icon acts when it is double-clicked and when a file is dropped on to it. Install_Server - (Application Server only) - allows administrators to set up the Application Server to install other SCO UnixWare 2.1 systems over the network. MHS_Setup - (Application Server Only) allows administrators to set up the Application Server as a gateway for MHS/Internet mail users in NetWare environments. 35
