Notes

• If the software currently being used is returned to a previous version, note that the environment definition file will be set to the assumed value status (initial status) when the software is reinstalled.
• The maximum length of a line in the environment definition file is 512 bytes. A definition line that exceeds 512 bytes is ignored.
• When you install a HiRDB client in Windows, you must have Administrator or Power User privileges. If a user who does not have Administrator or Power User privileges installs the client, redistributed files are not updated, nor is the PATH system environment variable updated.
