Installing WordPerfect 5.x
This document was created to help you run WordPerfect on a NetWare Lite server. If you want more than one user to have access to the WordPerfect program, you must make these changes. WARNING: If you plan on using WordPerfect on two or more machines, you must obtain a multiple-copy site license from the WordPerfect Corporation.
FASTPATH STEPS DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS
1. cd c:\wp1.
1. It is necessary to be in the directory where the WordPerfect files are located. This is usually called c:\wp. To change to this directory type "cd \wp" and press enter.
2. Type "install"
2. WordPerfect has an installation procedure which allows you to change the machine's configuration. To access the installation menu, type "install" and press enter.
3. Select "Y" to continue
3. Select "Y" to continue with the installation procedure.
4. Select "Y" to install to hard disk
4. Since you are installing these files for a NetWare Lite server, select "Y" to install to your hard disk drive.
Note: You must have a hard drive to install your computer as a server with NetWare Lite.
5. At the installation menu, select "3"
5. Select "3" to perform a customized installation onto a network.
6. At the Network Customization Installation Menu, select "5"
6. The WP{WP}.ENV file is the file that lets WordPerfect recognize a network environment and allows the WordPerfect program files to be shared by multiple users. To check or create this file, select "5".
7. Press "Y" to create if necessary
7. If the WP{WP}.ENV file does not already exist, the computer will ask you if you want to create it. Select "Y" for yes. Note: If this file already exists, the computer will skip this step.
8. At the Check WP{WP}.ENV File Menu, select "4"
8. The Check WP{WP}.ENV File menu appears and allows you to select the type of network environment you will be using. Since NetWare Lite is not listed, select "4" for IBM. Secondary selection if the first does not work is select "0" for other.
Note: Do NOT select 1 for Novell Netware. This will not configure your machine for NetWare Lite.
9. Enter the directory and path for setup
9. At the bottom of the screen, the computer will ask you for the path you want the setup files to be copied to. Normally you would set this path to the same location of the other WordPerfect files. If that is correct, type in that path and press enter. If not, change it to reflect the desired path.
10. Pres F7 to exit installation
10. Installation is now comlete. Press the F7 function key to exit the installation menu.
From now on, when you start WordPerfect, the program will prompt you to enter a three letter username. This is to distinguish one user from another. Each user must go into the setup (shift-F1) and define the location of their own files. Each user must specify the drive letter they mapped WordPerfect to in NetWare Lite for the location of the system files.
Printing
When a station is setup as both a server and client by default the station is configured so that server.exe is loaded before client.exe. Server.exe may be loaded after client.exe. However, upon loading the server a warning message will appear indicating that printing may not function correctly. To eliminate this warning simply verify that server is loaded before client.
When a printer is selected in WordPerfect there is an option for specifying whether the printer is on a network or local. WordPerfect assumes that printers are local unless otherwise specified. It is OK to select WordPerfect's default and specify the printer as local. If you choose to make the printer a network printer be sure to suppress top of form on the last page of the document.
