Registry mode was the default mode of operation in version 3.3 and earlier, and is now an optional mode. In registry mode,
BlueZone saves all of the global and user settings in the Windows Registry. Each BlueZone Session (S1, S2, and so on), has
a unique set of parameters that are loaded by clicking a BlueZone icon. The sessions launch in order, starting with the first
unused session number.
The following text uses BlueZone Mainframe Display and BlueZone iSeries Display (AS/400 Display) as examples to explain key
concepts. These concepts may be transferred directly to the BlueZone Mainframe Printer, BlueZone Secure FTP, and all of the
other BlueZone emulation clients.
In registry mode, BlueZone uses the Windows Registry to store and retrieve the configuration data associated with each session.
It automatically creates a Registry Key with default values for each session when initiated. These default values are overwritten
when any changes are made and the configuration is saved. The BlueZone configuration keys may be viewed with REGEDIT.EXE at the following location:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SEAGULL\BlueZone
On systems where NT Workstation is installed, you can use the security associated with the Registry to prevent users from
modifying their configuration file. You can also take advantage of the BlueZone and NT remote installation features to automate
the distribution and configuration of user's computer.
Because Profile Mode is the default mode, you must edit the setup.ini file to enable Registry Mode.
