Accessing Dtpower

In previous releases, it was necessary to start the Dtpower software as superuser to edit the configurations. In this release, the program can be started in a number of ways, all of which allow you to change the configurations.

If you are unable to access Dtpower for editing purposes, it may be because you do not have the correct permissions. See the dtpower(1M) man page for details.

If Dtpower is already running, it may appear on your desktop as this icon:
