TITLE: Quick Installation Guide
PRODUCT: WordPerfect Office 4.0 for DOS and Windows
If all users who need access to WordPerfect Office can log in to
the same network file server, you can use this Quick Install
Guide to set up your WordPerfect Office system. This guide
provides instructions for setting up a WordPerfect Office system
contained on one file server only.
If the size or configuration of your network prohibits all users
from logging in to the same network file server, you should use
the Administration Guide to plan and set up your WordPerfect
Office system. The Administration Guide provides instructions
for setting up a WordPerfect Office system that spans multiple
file servers.
Quick System Overview
The WordPerfect Office system you will be creating is shown
below.
FILE SERVER
with post office and
domain directoryNetworkWorkstationWorkstation
The WordPerfect Office terms post office and domain are explained
in the following two sections.
Post Office
A post office is simply a directory structure on a file server.
The post office directory structure serves two main purposes:
It contains the users' mailboxes, or databases, where
users' messages are stored
It stores the client software that the users run to
send and receive messages.
Domain
A post office must belong to a domain. This domain structure
provides a way to organize a multiple-post office system and to
administer the system.
In the single-post office system that you are setting up,
organization is not an issue. Therefore, the only purpose of the
domain is to provide a domain directory that serves as the
administration directory for the post office and as an archive
directory for the client software.
The domain directory does not have to be on the same file server
as the post office directory.
All administration for the post office is done through the domain
directory. If you later decide to add another post office to the
domain, you will also administer that post office through the
domain directory; this provide centralized administration of all
the domain's post offices.
Installation Tasks
Listed below are the tasks required to set up your WordPerfect
Office system. Each of the tasks is explained in detail in the
WordPerfect Office Administration Guide.

your post office).Setting Up the Admin

Additional Information
If you install a single post office and decide you need
additional post offices installed on other file servers (to
service users on those file servers), you can complete the
following tasks to add more post offices to your existing system.
Important: A multiple-post office system requires a message
server. The message server is responsible for moving messages
between post office. A network station (minimum 80386 processor
with 2MB expanded/extended memory and 40 MB hard drive) must be
dedicated to running the message server. See System Overview in
Chapter 2: Planning in the WordPerfect Office Administration
Guide for additional information.
