LANtastic Network Operating System Version 5 Compatibility Bulletin
Product Reviewed: WordPerfect v5.1 & WordPerfect for Windows
v5.2 from WordPerfect Corp
Classification: WordProcessing Software
Date: 03/15/1993
Engineer: JAG/MHO
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Compatibility Statement
WordPerfect v5.1 and WordPerfect for Windows v5.2 from WordPerfect
Corp. are compatible with LANtastic NOS v4.x and v5.x.
Product Overview
WordPerfect is one of the market leaders for word processing
software. Installation and operation over the LANtastic Network
Operating System is directly supported in WordPerfect version 5.1
and above.
Product Installation Notes
WordPerfect (DOS) v5.1
Installation is achieved via WordPerfect's INSTALL routine, invoked
from the Install/Learn/Utilities 1 diskette. During the
installation, the program will present a list of possible networks.
At this screen, one of the choices displayed is:
8 - LANtastic
Choose this option and WordPerfect will install correctly for use
with the Network Operating System. Refer to Appendix R of the
WordPerfect Reference manual on details about Network
Administration in a DOS environment.
WordPerfect for Windows v5.2
Run INSTALL on the Install/Program 1 diskette from within Windows.
Since the drive letter of your WordPerfect server is hard-coded in
the icon properties, you may want to use the same drive letter on
all workstations. As for all Windows applications, remember to
avoid self-redirections on a LANtastic server running Windows.
Self-redirections are 'NET USE' commands looping back to the local
machine, e.g. if you issue the following command on machine
<server1>, you are doing a loopback:
NET USE W: \\<server1>\C-DRIVE
Loopbacks can be avoided by invoking the installation from a
workstation, or using the DOS SUBST command instead on the server.
Please see the LANtastic Compatibility Bulletin for Windows v3.1
for more information. Refer to the README.NET file in the \WPCINI
directory on details about Network Administration in a Windows
environment.
