[Diets]

Not sure I can help based on what little your email has.

ScarletDME runs on Linux based systems.

Here is what I do to connect to Scarlet.

a) create a Linux user with sudo privileges

b) create a Linux group such as 'qmusers' and add this group to the above Linux user

c) make sure Linux SSH service is running (the default port is 22)

d) use AccuTerm to make a 'secure' connection to the Scarlet/Linux server

e) login using the user created in step A

f) cd /usr/qmsys

g) qm

you should see:

[ ScarletDME Rev 2.6-6   Copyright Ladybridge Systems, 2007 ]

Welcome to ScarletDME!  Multi-Value for the masses, not the classes.

For steps e thru g, I normally create function keys within AccuTerm

Example:

user: stevent

password:

So, I create 'ctrl F7' to be: stevent^Mpassword^M

Then create 'ctrl F8' to be: cd /usr/qmsys^Mqm^M

and you should see the above Welcome screen

There is also a way in Linux when user 'stevent' logs in, it automatically takes you into Scarlet.

Example:

path:/home/STEVET bash_profile.txt
01: # .bashrc
02: # echo 'from bashrc'
03: # Source global definitions
04: if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
05:    . /etc/bashrc
06: fi
07:
08: # User specific environment
09: if ! [[ "$PATH" =~ "$HOME/.local/bin:$HOME/bin:" ]]
10: then
11:     PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$HOME/bin:$PATH"
12: fi
13: export PATH
14:
15: # Uncomment the following line if you don't like systemctl's auto-paging feature:
16: # export SYSTEMD_PAGER=
17:
18: # User specific aliases and functions
19: unset USERNAME
20: umask 0007
21: ulimit -c 200000
22: alias ls='ls -laF --color'
23: cd /usr/qmsys/bin
24: qm -ATWZ
25: exit

Notice lines 23 thru 25

23 performs cd /usr/qmsys/bin

24 executes qm -ATWZ (in my case TWZ is a Scarlet account for user STEVET)

25 executes when user STEVET types 'OFF'

If you'd like further assistance, reply to my email with time date/time you might be calling.

The way scammers are these days, I don't answer the phone unless caller ID displays someone in my contacts.

Thank you very much Steve, running perfectly with ubuntu-base-24.04.3-base-amd64.tar.gz as the WSL2 install. Some tweaks required after the minimal install, but I got those properly documented, if anyone is interested.

Diets.
