Penguin Hutchinson Reference Suite
Release Notes (Version 2.0)
Web Browsers
------------
In order to use PHRS you require one of the
following Web browsers:
Internet Explorer 3
Internet Explorer 4
Internet Explorer 5
Netscape Communicator 4
Netscape Navigator 4
You will be given the option of installing
Netscape Navigator 4.04 during the installation
process. This is recommended only if you do not
already have one of the browsers listed above.
If you already have an earlier (or later) version
of Netscape, version 4.04 will replace your current
version unless you install it to a different directory.
If you wish to install Netscape 4.04 at a later date,
uninstall PHRS using the button in your Start, Programs,
Penguin Hutchinson group, then re-install it. When asked
if you would like to install Netscape 4.04, say Yes.
Installation
------------
The first time the CD-ROM is inserted, you should be
prompted as to whether you wish to install the
application. If this does not occur for any reason,
run "Setup.exe" found in the root directory of the
CD-ROM.
Uninstalling
------------
To remove all PHRS files from your system, an
'Uninstall' icon is provided in the 'Penguin Hutchinson'
program group. Note that you should only Uninstall an
application if you wish to remove it permanently from
your system.
WP Link
-------
Once the program is installed the WP Link Icon will
appear in the Icon Tray on the Task Bar. A Left mouse
click on the Icon will display the "Drop Window", click
again and it will disappear. Once the "Drop Window" is
active you may highlight text in applications such as
Microsoft Word and drag them onto one of the search
Icons.

Troubleshooting
---------------
I get an "Internet Explorer Script Error" when I try to run
PHRS
PHRS uses ActiveX controls, which must be enabled in
your browser options. Go to View, Options, and click the
Security tab. Now ensure that both "Enable ActiveX
controls and plug-ins" and "Run ActiveX scripts" are
checked. Press OK for these new settings to take effect,
then close your browser and re-start PHRS.
The index box to the left is always empty
Internet Explorer: PHRS uses ActiveX controls,
which must be enabled in your browser options. Go to
View, Options, and click the Security tab. Now ensure
that both "Enable ActiveX controls and plug-ins" and
"Run ActiveX scripts" are checked. Press OK for these
new settings to take effect, then close your browser and
re-start PHRS.
Netscape 4: PHRS uses Java and JavaScript, which must
be enabled in your browser preferences. Go to Edit,
Preferences, and select the Advanced section. Now
ensure that both "Enable Java" and "Enable JavaScript"
are checked. Press OK for these new settings to take
effect, then close your browser and re-start PHRS.
PHRS will not work with my browser.
It is recommended that PHRS is viewed with one of the
following browsers: Internet Explorer 3 or 4; Netscape 4.
If you have problems running the PHRS with a different
browser, you can install Netscape 4 from the PHRS CD-
ROM. To do this, uninstall PHRS (go to Start, Programs,
Penguin Hutchinson, then Uninstall PHRS). Once the
uninstall is complete, reinstall PHRS, and when you are
asked whether you want the program to install Netscape
4, say Yes.
Netscape is failing to load the plug-ins I need to run
PHRS.
If you receive error messages about Netscape's failure to
load plug-ins, you can run an installation program to load
them from the PHRS CD. To do this, under Windows
Explorer, double-click on your CD-ROM's drive letter,
then on the folder called netscape plugin. Then double-
click on the application plugininst.exe. You then need to
close and re-start the Netscape application for this to take
effect.
How do I print tables and images when there's no print
button?
With the Media Browser active, press Ctrl-P (hold down
the Control key on your keyboard, and press P). The
standard Windows Print Dialogue will appear.
I try to print an article, but it just prints a small icon.
Why?
Before you instruct your browser to print, you need to
click on the text of the article. This selects the right-hand
frame, which contains the article text, rather than the left
frame (the default).
How do I stop WP Link loading when I start up my PC?
If you don't want WP Link to load at all when you start
your PC, you will need to remove it from your StartUp
program list. To do this:
Click on Start, then Settings, then Taskbar.... Click on
the Start Menu Programs tab, then the Remove button.
Scroll down the list of folders under Programs, until you
find one named StartUp. Click once on the plus sign (+)
beside the StartUp folder, Highlight the WP Link
program by clicking on it once, then click on the
Remove button. Click on Close, then OK.
I can't find an article which I know exists
Ensure that the book you are trying to search is open;
click on the relevant icon of the Toolbar to open or close
any book.
I clicked on a link to a Web site, and now I can't get back
to the PHRS.
The first time you go to a Web site, PHRS opens up a
new browser window specifically for viewing web
pages. At the same time, your PHRS browser is
minimized to your Windows 95 Taskbar. To retrieve it,
simply click on the button labelled "The Penguin
Hutchinson Reference Suite".
Once your web browser window has been opened by
clicking on a Web link from the Internet Directory, it
remains minimized on your Taskbar until you close the
window. This way, you can switch between viewing web
sites and PHRS. To view the current web site, simply
click on the button on your Taskbar.
I click on a link to a Web site, and I get a message saying
it could not connect.
You must have Internet access to look up Web sites.
If you are using an Internet Service Provider (ISP) that
requires you to log on (AOL or CompuServe, for
example), you will need to make a connection as normal
before the Web links will work. To do this, minimize
the PHRS window to your Windows 95 Taskbar, connect to your
ISP in the usual way, then maximize PHRS again. You
will then be able to connect to Web sites via the PHRS.
Remember to disconnect when you have finished your
session.
I receive a "can't open" error when I click on an entry in
the Contents list.
Ensure you are not 'double-clicking' on an entry. Your
browser is only expecting a single click, and may give
errors otherwise.
Why can't I view a picture and listen to an audio clip at
the same time?
When you click on any multimedia item, the PHRS
opens up a new browser window - the Media Window.
This enables you to easily switch between PHRS and
viewing pictures in the Media window. As different
media items are selected, they replace the contents of the
Media window.
Why have I got three browser buttons on my Windows
Taskbar?
As well as the browser for the PHRS itself, if you have
viewed a web site via the Internet Directory and listened
to an audio clip, without closing their respective browser
windows, they will be minimized to the Taskbar when
you return to the PHRS browser.
Why do books I haven't selected keep appearing as open
on the PHRS taskbar?
If you have followed a hyperlink to an article in a
different book to those you already have open, that book
will automatically open, and its contents will be added to
the index list on the left-hand side of the screen.
