I. INSTALLING SMARTSUITE RELEASE 1.5.1
======================================
A. System Requirements
B. Installing SmartSuite Release 1.5.1
C. Uninstalling SmartSuite Release 1.5.1
A. System Requirements
----------------------
The system requirements for SmartSuite Release 1.5.1 are the
same as the SmartSuite Release 1.5 requirements. For more
information, refer to Section I-1 in the SmartSuite Readme file
(README.TXT) located in the \LOTUSW4 directory.
Lotus recommends using the latest release of IBM OS/2 Warp 4
FixPak.
B. Installing SmartSuite Release 1.5.1
--------------------------------------
SmartSuite Release 1.5.1 must be installed on a computer
with a pre-existing installation of SmartSuite Release 1.5,
since the files in SmartSuite Release 1.5.1 do not constitute
a complete product. You can verify your existing SmartSuite for
OS/2 release by selecting Help About xxxx (where xxxx is the
product name) from within any SmartSuite application.
If the release number is not 1.5, you must install SmartSuite
for OS/2 Warp 4 Release 1.5 before proceeding.
Note: The SmartSuite Release 1.5.1 Update Install Program does
not provide an option for a Custom Install. If you want to
add features to your pre-existing Release 1.5 installation,
you must re-install SmartSuite Release 1.5 using the Custom
Install option. When that installation is complete, install
SmartSuite Release 1.5.1.
Installing SmartSuite Release 1.5.1 on a stand-alone computer
or file server:
-------------------------------------------------------------
1. Close all Lotus SmartSuite for OS/2 applications. If you are
installing on a server, make sure that no network clients
are using the SmartSuite applications.
2. Change to the \OS2SS151 directory.
3. Type UPDATE and press ENTER to start the Update Install Program.
4. If you are installing on a stand-alone computer, skip to step 7.
5. If you are installing on a file server, select Install on a file
server in the Welcome to the Lotus Install Program (Update) dialog
box, and then click Next.
6. In the File Server Install or Network Distribution (Update)
dialog box, select File server, and then click Next.
Note: SmartSuite Release 1.5.1 does not require node installations.
When you install SmartSuite Release 1.5.1 on the file server, the
updated files are automatically available to the nodes.
7. Follow the instructions on the screen. Before copying files,
the Update Install Program collects information and displays
the directory location where SmartSuite Release 1.5.1 will be
installed.
8. Click Next to begin copying files and complete the installation.
When the installation is finished, you can delete the \OS2SS151
directory tree.
The Update Install Program will display an error message and exit
if it encounters an irregularity in the pre-existing installation or
if SmartSuite Release 1.5 is not installed. For more information
about error conditions, refer to the Troubleshooting section below.
Installing SmartSuite Release 1.5.1 for network distribution:
-------------------------------------------------------------
To install SmartSuite Release 1.5.1 for network distribution
to NEW users, follow the instructions in "Installing SmartSuite
Release 1.5.1 on a stand-alone computer or file server" above.
In step 6, select Network distribution and then click Next.
The SmartSuite Release 1.5.1 updated files are NOT automatically
available to pre-existing SmartSuite installations. To update
pre-existing SmartSuite Release 1.5 installations, install
SmartSuite Release 1.5.1 to a stand-alone computer or file
server, following the instructions in the preceding section.
Installing SmartSuite Release 1.5.1 using CID
(Configuration, Installation, and Distribution):
------------------------------------------------
1. Close all Lotus SmartSuite for OS/2 applications.
2. Change to the \OS2SS151\<language> directory (where <language>
is the language version of SmartSuite).
3. In the OS/2 System Editor, open the SUITE.RSP file located in
the \OS2SS151\<language> directory. Edit the file appropriately
and then save the file.
Note: If you installed SmartSuite Release 1.5 using CID and have a
previously edited version of the SUITE.RSP response file, you
can refer to or use that file.
4. In the OS/2 System Editor, open the UPDSSCID.CMD file located
in the \OS2SS151\<language> directory. Edit the file to add the
appropriate directory information for your environment.
5. Save the UPDSSCID.CMD file and then exit the OS/2 System Editor.
6. Type UPDSSCID and press ENTER to initiate the SmartSuite
Release 1.5.1 installation.

recent than the READWSOD.TXT file in SmartSuite Release 1.5. You
may want to copy the READWSOD.TXT file to an alternate location

installation is finished.

Word Pro
B. New Icon in Lotus Assistance Folder
C. Multilingual Installations
D. Customer Support Information
A. Improved Microsoft Excel and Word Filters in 1-2-3 and
Word Pro
---------------------------------------------------------
Microsoft Office file import and export filters are available
in 1-2-3 and Word Pro. The File - Open and File - Save functions
maintain as much data and functionality as possible. Note that there
is not a 1:1 correspondence for all features in Microsoft Office
and Lotus SmartSuite, so 100% functionality cannot be achieved.
1-2-3
-----
1-2-3 contains improved Microsoft Excel import and export filters:
* 1-2-3 opens and exports Excel 2000 files. You can open Excel
2000 files in 1-2-3 by choosing File - Open and selecting
Microsoft Excel (XLS;XLT;XLW) for Type of file. You can save
a 1-2-3 file as an Excel 2000 file by choosing File - Save As
and selecting Microsoft Excel 97-2000 Workbook (XLS) for Save
file as type.
* 1-2-3 exports and displays outlines to and from Excel Release 4.0
and later. In 1-2-3, you can hide or show the row outline frame
independently of the column outline frame. In Excel, you must
either hide both frames or show both frames. If you save a 1-2-3
file containing an outline with hidden frames as an Excel file,
the frame setting is not retained.
Word Pro
--------
Word Pro contains improved Microsoft Word 97 import and export filters:
* Word Pro correctly displays Word 97 files that contain a
graphic in the header.
* Word Pro correctly scales graphics contained in Word 97 files.
* Word Pro displays bookmarks for hyperlinks to bookmarks contained
in Word 97 files.
* Word Pro exports correctly sized frames to Word 97.
* Word Pro correctly exports page borders to Word 97.
Word Pro contains an improved Microsoft Excel 97 filter:
* Word Pro correctly displays Excel 97 files modified and saved
in 1-2-3.
B. New Icon in Lotus Assistance Folder

The Update Install Program adds a new icon "SmartSuite Release 1.5.1
Product Updates" to the Lotus Assistance Folder. Double-click the
icon to open this Readme file (UPDATE.TXT).
C. Multilingual Installation
----------------------------
SmartSuite Release 1.5.1 does not support multilingual installations
on a stand-alone or server-node installation. Only the primary
language installation can be updated using the Update Install
Program.

IV. TROUBLESHOOTING
===================
SmartSuite Release 1.5.1 Update Install Program Displays Error
Message and Exits
-------------------------------------------------------------
The SmartSuite Release 1.5.1 Update Install Program displays an
error message and exits if one of the following conditions is
encountered during execution:
* The Update Install Program cannot find a pre-existing installation
of SmartSuite Release 1.5. You may have an earlier release
of SmartSuite installed or SmartSuite may not be installed at all.
To fix this problem, install SmartSuite Release 1.5 and then
install SmartSuite Release 1.5.1.
* The Update Install Program cannot find the EPFIS.INI and
INSTALL.INI files or these files are deleted or contain
errors. If you installed Lotus Notes after installing
SmartSuite Release 1.5, some of the statements in these files may
be incorrect for SmartSuite. To fix this problem, re-install
SmartSuite Release 1.5 and then install SmartSuite Release 1.5.1.
SmartSuite Applications Do Not Work After Update Install Program Fails
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If the Update Install Program fails while copying files, a dialog
box may prompt you to delete all of the files copied up to that
point in the installation.
* Choosing "yes" to remove the files directs the program to delete
files in the \LOTUSW4 directory tree. Since these are the same
files used by SmartSuite Release 1.5, these applications may no
longer function correctly after the files are deleted.
* Choosing "no" to remove the files does not delete any files.
Lotus recommends that you choose "no" if a dialog box prompts you to
remove files. If you inadvertently choose "yes" to remove the files,
you can:
* Retry the SmartSuite Release 1.5.1.
* Re-install SmartSuite Release 1.5 and then install SmartSuite
Release 1.5.1.
