Subject: W95 Shortcut to BMI Offline?
>I recently switched from W3.1 to W95. I used to have a small
>folder/window open on the desktop showing the BMI server icons,
>and I could double-click on whichever one I wanted to start it.
>I can't seem to figure out how to get a shortcut to the Offline
>server now that I've got W95 installed.

>I can launch either server via:
>
> Start->Programs->Omega Research->Data Server for BMI
> Start->Programs->Omega Research->Offline Data Server for BMI
>
>so I know both servers are in the system somewhere. (I suspect it's
>all the same program with different startup options, all carefully
>hidden from the user.) But I'd really like to launch the Offline
>server without mousing through all those menus, as I do some
>operations that involve starting and stopping that server a lot.

>Using File Manager, or My Computer..., or Windows Explorer I see only
>"Or_btc" in the C:\Omega\Prog folder, and double-clicking that item
>starts the Online server.

>That Start->... menu seems to be the only place that knows about the
>Offline server. I tried dragging (with and without the Ctrl key,
>left and right mouse) the menu item to the desktop but that did nothing.
>I don't really need the icon on the desktop, of course; just rendering
>that Start menu business into folder windows would give me an icon I
