UNC Path Styles (def)
UNC Path Styles

Acronym for Universal Naming Convention.

The advantage of using the UNC style is that you are not tied to a particular drive letter when running WordPerfect or Presentations.  For example, if WordPerfect is located on a particular server and volume and the drive letter assigned to that server and volume changes, WordPerfect will continue to run properly.  The following UNC styles are supported:

UNC Path Style: \\server\volume\<directory>

Example: \\wpmain\apps\office\wpwin

NetWare UNC Path Style: server\volume\:<directory>

Example: wpmain\apps\:office\wpwin

Supervisor Options

Purpose

Use Supervisor Options to specify the location of users' initialization files, to set default file locations, to specify whether to install Bitstream TrueType fonts during workstation installation, and to set the password for printer initialization.

      	These options are designed for the network administrator who is installing the suite to a file server.  These options will affect all users who access suite applications from the network.

Steps

IDAPI Program

IDAPI is a shared component for all suite database applications that run in Windows.  It includes a number of Dynamic Link Libraries (DLL's), language drivers, the IDAPI Configuration Utility, and other support files that allow you to access external database tables and other files necessary for database import.

Setup will update a previously installed IDAPI configuration file to reflect the presence of the new applications or parameters you are installing.

     	Location for IDAPI Program and Configuration Files

The default directory is c:\office\shared\idapi.  If you want to install to a directory other than the default, use Custom Install and specify a different directory.

     	Default IDAPI Configuration File

The IDAPI configuration file is used at IDAPI application startup.  The default configuration file is listed in the IDAPI section of your WIN.INI file as CONFIGFILE01.  For example:

[IDAPI]

CONFIGFILE01=c:\office\shared\idapi\idapi.cfg

You can choose any name for your IDAPI configuration file as long as it is no more than 12 characters long.

IDAPI Installation Notification

Purpose

Printers

Purpose

Use this feature to specify WordPerfect printer drivers for your printers.  The printer drivers you choose for installation will be selected when you start a suite application, but you can use a Windows printer driver while running a suite application.

If your printer is not listed, you can find out if it is supported by Corel and then download it by using the BBS, WordPerfect Forums on CompuServe, SpaceWorks, or the Internet (FTP).  If you have questions about any of these electronic services, please call (801) 228-9904.  If you are outside the United States, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, or Canada, please contact your local Corel affiliate to obtain these printer drivers.

     	WordPerfect's BBS

If you have a modem and communications software package, you can access WordPerfect's Bulletin Board Service (BBS).  The BBS allows you to call and obtain information and files, leave messages, or send files.  Current printer drivers are some of the files you can obtain.

WordPerfect's BBS does not require a paid membership.  You can use your own name, or you can use the name PC USER to register when you call.

WordPerfect's BBS supports 1200 to 14400 baud capabilities.  In order to connect to the BBS properly, your settings should be data length 8, stop bits 1, and parity none.  The terminal emulation should be set to ANSI, TTY, or None.  The main number for the BBS is (801) 225-4414.

     	WordPerfect Forums on CompuServe

If you have a CompuServe membership, you can download printer files from the WordPerfect Files Forum.  If you have questions about the files, leave a message for the SYSOP.  To access the forum, enter GO WPFILES at the CompuServe prompt.

     	SpaceWorks

As a registered WordPerfect user, you can use SpaceWorks to search the entire WordPerfect technical bulletin database and download files such as printer drivers.

To access SpaceWorks, you need a modem, Windows 3.1, and SpaceWorks software.  SpaceWorks provides local dial access within the United States at 2400 and 9600 baud capabilities.

You can call SpaceWorks for more information and to request SpaceWorks software by calling (800) 577-2235.

     	Internet (FTP)

Printer drivers and other WordPerfect files are available on the WordPerfect File Transfer Protocol (FTP) site on the internet.  You can use the username ANONYMOUS.  The address is 151.155.3.17.


Select Drive

Purpose

Use this feature to specify the drive where you want suite applications installed.

Steps

1	Choose Install from the Setup dialog box.

2	Choose Standard or Minimum.

3	Select the applications you want to install, then choose OK.

4	Choose the appropriate drive.

5	Choose OK.

The default directory is the OFFICE directory.  If you want to install to a directory other than the default, use Custom Install and specify a different directory.

If you previously installed the suite to the default or any other directory, the new installation will overwrite the previous one unless you select a different drive.

Custom/Network Installation

Select Directory


Standard (def)
Standard

Installs WordPerfect, Quattro Pro, Presentations,InfoCentral, Envoy, shared components, and PerfectFit components to directories on your drive.  This is the recommended installation.  It requires up to 98M of disk space if you install all the applications.

If you previously installed the suite or any suite application to the default or any other directory, the new installation will overwrite the previous one unless you select a different drive.  If you want to install to a directory other than the default, use Custom Install.


Network Basics

Purpose

Networking the suite requires two installation procedures:  a network server installation and a network workstation installation.  Network server installation installs the suite program files to a network server.  Once this task is completed, users can then perform workstation installations from their own workstation, which configures the suite for use on the Windows desktop.

Steps

1	Choose Install from the Setup dialog box, then choose Network.

          	The total number of copies of the program in use on the network should not exceed the number printed on your Proof of Purchase.

2	Read Supervisor Options in Help and determine which Supervisor Options you will select.

3	Complete the Server installation.

4	In Windows Program Manager, double-click the WordPerfect Admin icon to launch WordPerfect and define preferences and create a default environment for your users.

All settings you make for WordPerfect are saved to the public .BIF file (WPCNET.BIF). and STANDARD.WPT in the TEMPLATE directory.  Users who access the network copy of WordPerfect will inherit their initial settings from the public .BIF file and STANDARD.WPT.

5	In Windows Program Manager, double-click the Presentations Admin icon to launch Presentations and define preferences and create a default environment for your users.

All settings you make during this session are saved to the public .BIF file (WPCNET.BIF).  Users who access the network copy of Presentations will inherit their initial settings from the public .BIF file.

6	Double-click the Public BIF Admin icon to launch the BIF Editor, then read the BIF Edit topic in Help.

7	Flag the settings in the public .BIF file that you want to overrule users' private settings, then choose Override.

WordPerfect and Presentations are the only two products for which the system administrator can define default settings prior to installing the suite on a workstation.

8	Choose Exit from the File menu to exit the BIF Editor and save your changes to the public .BIF file.

Before giving access to users, you may wish to secure the suite programs and Shared/PerfectFit files by flagging/attributing them as read-only.  Some networks that require SHARE.EXE to be loaded will need this done before you can begin sharing the suite across the network.  It may also be necessary to set directory rights to read-only or equivalent, for added security.

9	Double-click the ObexLAN Admin Setup icon to setup a LAN post office for use by OBEX to exchange files, then see the Help menu in the Object Exchange utility to access the OBEX online Help.
