Accessing the Programs

The ACD suite resides on the "application servers". To gain access to these, proceed as follows:
  1. On a windows system, double click the "GRAMS and ACDLabs" icon on the desktop after logging in, in the usual way. You will have to log in again, this time to the application server prompts that appear. You will enter a standard Windows environment, and the ACDLABs folder should be seen as an icon on the desktop.
  2. On MacOS X, run the Remote Desktop connection application program, and specify either chbfs1.ch.ic.ac.uk or chnts2.ch.ic.ac.uk as the remote application servers. You will enter a standard Windows environment, and the ACDLABs folder should be seen as an icon on the desktop.
