FILE: OSDAWP.FAX - 5/17/94
TITLE: 940517 STANDARD SETUP AND FAX SETUP FOR
WORDPERFECT 5.1, 6.0 IN A VIRTUAL DOS
MACHINE (VDM) FOR OS/2 2.x
DESCRIPTION OF SYMPTONS:

SUMMARY OF RESOLUTION:
****** STANDARD SETUP FOR WP 5.1 AND 6.0 ******
1. DOS SETTINGS

in the foreground as well as running in the background.
To startup WP and speed up the performance, change the
settings in the Desktop object to the following:
DOS_BACKGROUND_EXECUTION = OFF
DOS_FILES = 25 (required for WP 6.0)
DOS_HIGH = ON
DOS_UMB = ON
HW_ROM_TO_RAM = ON
IDLE_SECONDS = 60
IDLE_SENSITIVITY = 100
VIDEO_RETRACE_EMULATION = OFF
2. o BLACK SCREEN
o WORDPERFECT WILL NOT OPEN IN A VDM
o SYS3176
o HANGS WHILE SHIFTING FROM WORDPERFECT IN A
VDM TO ANOTHER SESSION OR THE DESKTOP
Change the Wordperfect settings by pressing the (SHIFT-F1)
key, or select (FILE) from the Menu Bar. Proceed with the
following selections:
SETUP
DISPLAY
TEXT SCREEN TYPE
IBM (VGA AND COMPATIBLES)
NOTE: If your video card is either 8514 or XGA, try
changing these DOS settings:
VIDEO_8514A_XGA_IOTRAP = OFF
VIDEO_SWITCH_NOTIFICATION = ON
3. NO MOUSE OR ERRATIC MOUSE
Change the Wordperfect settings by pressing the (SHIFT-F1)
key, or select (FILE) from the Menu Bar. Proceed with the
following selections:
SETUP
MOUSE
MOUSE DRIVER (MOUSE.COM)
4. DOUBLE MOUSE
Change the DOS Settings in the Desktop Object to:
MOUSE_EXCLUSIVE_ACCESS = ON.
****** FAX SETUP FOR WORDPERFECT 6.0 ******
1. DOS SETTINGS
Add these Settings to the Standard DOS Settings listed above.
COM_HOLD = ON
COM_SELECT = COM PORT FOR FAX MODEM
DOS_BACKGROUND_EXECUTION = ON
HW_TIMER = ON
INT_DURING_IO = ON
2. Using a text editor, create a "WP.BAT" file IN THE WORDPERFECT
DIRECTORY, and include the following statements:
FAXDIR.EXE
FAXB.COM
WP.EXE
The first two files load the fax drivers into the VDM
session. The WP.EXE starts up Wordperfect. Some
modems need to be on before the program is invoked,
otherwise the fax service will not recognize the modem.
This applies primarily to external modems; internal modems
are generally always on.
3. In the PATH AND FILE NAME of the Notebook Settings enter
the drive, path and filename, i.e.:
C:\WP60\WP.BAT
4. Set the Wordperfect SESSION setting to DOS FULL SCREEN.
Wordperfect 6.0 is only supported in a full screen.
5. Using a text editor change the following statements of
the OS/2 Config.sys on the root directory.
PRIORITY_DISK_IO = NO
MAXWAIT = 1
