with respect to fig3 through 14 the server 50 fig1 is set up to store all programs and operations to be used by a variety of users on the client computers in the network step 101 a program is set up on the server 50 to display on display 51 a sequence of dialog panels to prompt user entries to provide information covering the needs of all client computers and their users with respect to computer operations step 102 fig3 through 14 are illustrative of such panels then there is set up in the system step 103 a series of appropriate algorithms for converting the entries such as those in the panels of fig3 through 14 into means for allocating appropriate operating systems and application programs for user and client functions these algorithms are just simple routines of the type that any computer could use to convert entered data into computer operations next step 104 routines are set up for allocating the computer operating systems and application programs stored in the server computer to clients according to the algorithms of step 103 program routines are set up step 105 for running the client computers e g 53 54 and 55 by providing the client computers and users of the operating systems and application programs as needed or called for according to the algorithms described in steps 103 and 104 routines are set up in the server computer for storing the whole local network being set up profiles for users and for groups or classes of such users step 106 which will be used for determining the application programs to be allocated fig9 and 10 show the data entry for creating.
