                     NETWORK INSTALLATION

This Readme file explains how to install ATM for WordPerfect in a
network environment.

You should read this Readme file if

* You run a copy of WordPerfect that's located on a network server
* You use WPWIN with Windows on a network server
* You print to a network printer

NOTE: This is a long Readme file. You might want to print it to
your printer for ease of reference.

ATM for WordPerfect has been tested with Novell, LAN Manager,
3-Com, Banyan-Vines, and Lantastic networks. However, ATM for
WordPerfect should work with any network that's compatible with
WordPerfect 5.0 or later.

TROUBLESHOOTING NETWORK PROBLEMS


LICENSE AGREEMENTS AND NETWORKS

See the license agreement included with the ATM for WordPerfect
package for a complete list of your rights and limitations
regarding the use of this software. You must purchase a separate
copy of ATM for WordPerfect for every person who uses the ATM for
WordPerfect program.  The Type 1 fonts included with the ATM for
WordPerfect program are licensed for a single printer. You must
purchase a multi-printer license to use them with two or more
printers. If you have questions regarding this license, or would
like information about a multi-printer license, contact your
authorized Adobe reseller.



FOUR WAYS YOU CAN USE ATM FOR WORDPERFECT WITH A NETWORK

The following four scenarios illustrate common ways to use ATM for
WordPerfect and WordPerfect in a network environment.


Locate and Use Type 1 Font Files on the Server

If you are short on disk space on your own hard disk, you might
want to install ATM for WordPerfect's 20 Adobe Type 1 font files
on the server. The font files require 1.6 megabytes (MB) of local
hard disk space. Placing the font files on the server also allows
other ATM for WordPerfect users on your network to share the
fonts.


Use ATM for WordPerfect with a Network Version of WordPerfect or
  Windows

ATM for WordPerfect supports network versions of WordPerfect and
Windows simply and automatically. However, if you use a network
version of WordPerfect, we recommend that you seek the permission
and/or assistance of the network administrator before you install
ATM for WordPerfect.

NOTE: ATM for Windows does not work on a network. Both the ATM for
Windows program and the Type 1 fonts it uses must be on a local
hard drive to ensure correct operation.


Install One Copy of ATM for WordPerfect for All Network Users

You may find it desirable to share one network installation of ATM
for WordPerfect among all users. This setup requires every user to
use the same network drive names and paths for the same drives.
Your network administrator has to ensure that all users have the
same network drive setup.


Use a Network Printer

ATM for WordPerfect supports printing to network print spoolers,
as well as printing directly to Novell print queues.



INSTALLING FOR NETWORKS

The procedure for network installation is similar to the standard
installation procedure described in Chapter 1 of the ATM for
WordPerfect User Guide. However, to perform a network
installation, you use the ATINSTAL command with the /N option.

Follow these steps to begin the installation process for a
network:

1. Insert the ATM for WordPerfect program disk into your floppy
   disk drive.

2. Type

   ATINSTAL /N

   and press Enter. The ATM for WordPerfect installer welcome
   screen appears. Press Enter to begin installation.

When you run ATINSTAL with the /N parameter, you must be prepared
to specify

* The location of files (on the server or your hard disk), and
* The destination of your printer output



DETERMINING THE LOCATION OF FILES

ATM for WordPerfect allows you to install files on your local hard
drive or the network server. This section describes the different
types of files and provides instructions for locating the files on
a network server. We suggest that you write down the directories
you select as you install ATM for WordPerfect. Knowing the
directory names is helpful if you ever wish to change your
configuration.


Type 1 Font File Directory

During installation, you will be asked where to put the Type 1
font files. The default location is C:\PSFONTS, but you can put
the font files anywhere. ATM for WordPerfect makes it easy to
share Type 1 font files on a network. The advantage of placing the
font files on the network server is that it relieves your local
hard disk of 1.6 megabytes (MB) of files and other users can share
the same fonts.


WordPerfect Program Location

During installation, you will be asked where WordPerfect is
located and if you share a copy of WordPerfect with other network
users. If you use a shared (network) copy of WordPerfect, you will
be asked a few more questions. Depending on your installation, you
may be asked to confirm the following settings:

* WordPerfect version number: ATM for WordPerfect supports both
  version 5.0 and 5.1. Confirm your version number, or enter the
  correct version number if the version shown is wrong.

* WordPerfect Program Name: This is the command that ATM for
  WordPerfect uses to start WordPerfect (for example,
  C:\WP51\WP.EXE for DOS or C:\WPWIN\WPWIN.EXE for Windows).

* WordPerfect Macro Directory: The location of WordPerfect macros.
  This is the directory to which your ATM for WordPerfect Quick
  Keys keyboard file will be copied.

* WordPerfect Printer Directory: The location of your WordPerfect
  printer drivers. If you are not sure where your WordPerfect
  printer files are located, you may want to quit ATINSTAL (press
  Ctrl-Break) and run WordPerfect to find out.

* WPWIN Directory: The location of your WordPerfect for Windows
  directory. The correct directory contains your WPWIN.EXE file
  and your WPCPRINT.DRV file (among others).

* WPWIN printer directory: the location of your WordPerfect for
  Windows printer driver files. This location can be the same as
  your WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS printer driver location. In fact,
  to simplify matters we recommend that you share one printer
  driver directory among all 5.1 version WordPerfect products
  you use.

NOTE: Installing ATM for WordPerfect will not modify or change any
of your existing WordPerfect files. It will just copy the
appropriate ATM for WordPerfect files into the directory locations
you specify.


ATM for WordPerfect Program Location

If you are installing for a network copy of WordPerfect, you will
be asked to specify a directory for ATM for WordPerfect. This
directory contains the ATM for WordPerfect installation and
executable program files and the ATM for WordPerfect configuration
file. Each user can have a private ATM for WordPerfect program
directory, or you can allow all network users to share one ATM for
WordPerfect directory. If you want all users to share the same ATM
for WordPerfect program files and configuration, it is often
convenient to simply locate the ATM for WordPerfect files in the
same directory as your WordPerfect program files. (See "Network
Setup Options" later in this Readme file for other suggestions.)

NOTE: If all users share one set of ATM for WordPerfect program
and configuration files, you must ensure that the path names to
the printer driver files, Type 1 font files, and WordPerfect are
identical for all users. For example, if the path to the network
Type 1 font files is O:\PSFONTS from one user's PC, it must the
same path for all network users.



PRINTER OPTIONS

You can set up ATM for WordPerfect to print to

* A network printer
* A printer attached to your own PC
* Both a network printer and a local printer--ATM for WordPerfect
  can monitor up to three different ports for output and route the
  output to any combination of local and network printers. (See
  "Printer Port Mapping" later in this Readme file for details.)

The ATM for WordPerfect installer adds only one printer. To
install additional printers, you use the ATM for WordPerfect
reinstallation program as described in Chapter 2 of the ATM for
WordPerfect User Guide. If you want to install one or more network
printers, you should install a network printer when you first run
ATINSTAL from floppy disk.

In any event, you'll be asked which type of printer you use. If
you use a LaserJet printer, you'll also be asked whether the
printer is

* Connected directly to your computer
* Shared via an A/B switch box or printer sharing device
* Shared via the network

You are then asked to identify the printer port WordPerfect to
which WordPerfect prints. Your choices are LPT1-LPT4, COM1-COM4,
or Novell queue.

If you want to print to a local printer, there's nothing special
to do--just select the port to which the printer is attached.

If you want to print to a network printer, select the LPT or COM
port that your network spooler captures for the network printer.

Novell users of WordPerfect for DOS have the additional option of
selecting Novell queue from the list of available ports. Select
the Novell queue ONLY if your WordPerfect for DOS product is
configured to print directly to a Novell print queue (rather than
to print to a captured LPT port).


Using Multiple Printers

If you want to use more than one printer, such as a network laser
printer and a local dot-matrix printer, install the network
printer when you first run ATINSTAL /N from the floppy disks. Add
additional printer drivers by running ATINSTAL from your hard
disk. See Chapter 2 of the ATM for WordPerfect Users Guide for
instructions.


Printer Port Mapping

It is important in a network that ATM for WordPerfect be
configured to monitor the correct printer ports. This could be to
print locally to a network printer via a network spooler port or
directly to a Novell queue. If you have selected the port
incorrectly when ATM for WordPerfect was originally installed, or
you want to have ATM for WordPerfect monitor an additional port,
Printer Port Mapping is used.

You can change the printer port mapping with the ATM for
WordPerfect advanced reinstallation options. See the Readme file
ADVANCED.TXT for instructions on how to use the advanced
reinstallation options.



NETWORK SETUP OPTIONS

Setting up ATM for WordPerfect to work with WordPerfect or Windows
in a network environment requires that you make many choices about
how ATM for WordPerfect is installed.

The main choice is whether ATM for WordPerfect should be installed
just once and shared by all users or installed separately for each
user.

You can copy the ATM for WordPerfect diskette(s) onto a drive on
the server and run ATINSTAL from there--it's very fast. Also, when
ATINSTAL finds that a file already exists, it verifies the version
of the file and, if the version is current, it does not copy it
over again.


Program Locations

Is WordPerfect for DOS, WordPerfect for Windows, and/or Windows
shared? The answers to these questions affect the way you install
ATM for WordPerfect.

* WPDOS--For WordPerfect for DOS, it's simple. If it's shared and
  the drives are mapped the same, install ATM for WordPerfect
  once. If WPDOS is installed locally on each PC, install
  ATM for WordPerfect for each PC.

* WPWIN--ATM for WordPerfect edits the WIN.INI file by adding the
  LTOOLS command to the load= line in the [Windows] section. It is
  very rare that all network users share the same WIN.INI file. If
  you happen to be set up this way so both WPWIN and Windows are
  being shared AND everyone is using the same WIN.INI file, you
  can install ATM for WordPerfect only once. If you're set up the
  more common way, with individual WIN.INI files for all your
  users, then install ATM for WordPerfect for each user.


Installing a Single Copy of ATM for WordPerfect

If network users share a copy of WordPerfect and network drives
are assigned the same drive letters for all users, you can install
a single copy of ATM for WordPerfect for all users. With this
configuration, all users share the same printer drivers. The
directory locations are saved in the ATM for WordPerfect
configuration file ATWP.CFG. When you install a single copy of ATM
for WordPerfect, all users share the same ATWP.CFG configuration
file.

If one or more users cannot share the same network drive
designations, install individual copies of ATM for WordPerfect on
their PCs.



NETWORK PRIVILEGES REQUIRED TO INSTALL AND RUN ATM FOR WORDPERFECT

You will need the following privileges to install and run the ATM
for WordPerfect software:

ATM for WordPerfect Program
* Install: Read, Write, Subdirectory creation
* Run time: Read, (Write when you rerun ATINSTAL to make changes)

ATM for WordPerfect Printer Drivers
* Install: Read, Write
* Run time: Read, (Write when you edit a printer driver)

Type 1 Font Files
* Install: Read, Write, Subdirectory creation
* Run time: Read

Type Sample Document Files
* Install: Read, Write
* Run time: Read, (Write to save changes)

See your network administrator for assistance in obtaining the
required privileges.



COMPLETING NETWORK INSTALLATION

We've now covered the aspects of network installation that differ
from standard installation. After you finish installing ATM for
WordPerfect with ATINSTAL /N, the next step is to update the
printer driver from within WordPerfect. See Chapter 1 of the ATM
for WordPerfect User Guide for instructions.

NOTE: After you have selected your new ATM for WordPerfect printer
driver from within WordPerfect, double-check WordPerfect's printer
port setting. By default, WordPerfect will set a new printer
driver's port to be LPT1. If your network captures from any port
other than LPT1, or if you print directly to a Novell queue, you
will need to change WordPerfect's printer port to the correct
setting.



NETWORK INSTALLATION EXAMPLES

This section describes three network installation examples:

* A shared copy of WordPerfect for DOS on a Novell network
* Shared copies of WordPerfect for DOS, Windows, and WordPerfect
  for Windows on an MS-Net network
* A shared copy of WordPerfect for Windows on a Novell network


Example 1: Novell Network; WPDOS Only

Karen administers a Novell network with 30 users. She is
installing ATM for WordPerfect for WPDOS, which is shared by all
the users on the network. All the directories are mapped to the
same drive letters for all users:

   WPDOS:               O:\APPS\WP51
   WP Printer Drivers:  O:\APPS\WP51\PRS

Karen installs ATM for WordPerfect just once (opening only one of
the 30 copies she purchased). She starts the installation program
by typing ATINSTAL /N and puts the PostScript language Type 1 font
files in the O:\APPS\PSFONTS directory. She decides to keep the
network well organized by placing the ATM for WordPerfect files in
a separate directory, choosing the default: O:\APPS\ATWP.

Network users either print to a network laser printer with WP set
to print to the Novell queue or print to a local dot-matrix
printer attached directly to their computer. The first time Karen
installs, she selects the shared laser printer, specifying Novell
queue as the printer port. After completing the first-time
installation, she does a reinstallation by running ATINSTAL from
the hard drive and installs the dot-matrix ATM for WordPerfect
printer driver. She configures it as connected directly to the PC
on LPT1. Her last step is to change the menu to start WordPerfect
with the ATWP command instead of WP.


Example 2: MS-Net Network; WPDOS and WPWIN

Sandra runs an MS-Net network with 10 users. She wants to install
ATM for WordPerfect for shared copies of WPDOS, WPWIN, and
Windows. All the users have their own WIN.INI files on their local
hard drives. Sandra decides she needs to install ATM for
WordPerfect for each user. First, she copies the contents of the
ATM for WordPerfect distribution disks into a temporary directory
on a network drive. Then she runs ATINSTAL /N from each person's
PC (and gives every person an ATM for WordPerfect box with the
manual, since she purchased 10 copies.) After selecting to install
ATM for WordPerfect for both WPDOS and WPWIN, she sets up ATM for
WordPerfect to use the following directories:

     Windows .INI:           C:\WINFILE
     Windows .EXE files:     O:\APPS\WINDOWS
     DOS WordPerfect:        O:\APPS\WP51
     Type 1 fonts:           O:\APPS\PSFONTS

Sandra places the ATM for WordPerfect program files in a \ATWP
directory on each person's local hard drive. Everyone is sharing a
laser printer on the network and doing Net Use on LPT2 for this
printer. She chooses Shared Via the Network with LPT2 as the
printer port. There are two people with dot-matrix printers on
their local LPT1 ports, so she runs ATINSTAL from the \ATWP
directory from each of these PCs and installs their dot-matrix
printer drivers. She specifies Connected Direct to LPT1. She sets
everyone's WP for Windows directory locations to look for printer
drivers in the DOS WordPerfect directory so they will use the same
ATM for WordPerfect drivers whether it's WPWIN or WPDOS. She then
changes the menu for WPDOS to execute ATWP instead of WP, but
doesn't need to for Windows because ATM for WordPerfect loads
automatically when Windows loads.


Example 3: Novell Network; WPWIN Only

Nadia has 20 users on a Novell network. They are sharing only
WPWIN. Nobody is using WPDOS. Windows is located on each PC's hard
drive. There are numerous printers shared via the network, and
they are locally attached. She needs to install ATM for
WordPerfect on each PC because Windows is not shared, but the Type
1 font files can still be shared. After copying the contents of
the ATM for WordPerfect disks to a directory on a network drive,
she does a network installation of ATM for WordPerfect (with
ATINSTAL /N) from each PC. She sets up ATM for WordPerfect to use
the following directories:

     Windows .INI files:   C:\WINDOWS
     Windows .EXE files:   C:\WINDOWS
     WPWIN:                O:\APPS\WPWIN
     Type 1 fonts:         O:\APPS\PSFONTS
     WP Printer Drivers:   O:\APPS\WPWIN
     ATM for WordPerfect:  C:\ATWP

She selects the printer most commonly used on the network for the
first installation and selects shared via the network with LPT2 as
the port (they are capturing LPT2 to this printer's queue). Then,
each time she runs ATINSTAL for the individual PCs, she selects
the driver for the local printer they have attached, with LPT1 as
the port.

Some of the PCs are capturing LPT3 for a network printer, so Nadia
runs ATINSTAL /A (advanced reinstallation) and edits the Printer
Port Mapping. She selects LPT3 and sets it as Device driver
(network). She now has ATM for WordPerfect monitoring three ports,
LPT1 (local), LPT2 (network), and LPT3 (network).



TROUBLESHOOTING NETWORK PROBLEMS

This section provides advice for solving network-related problems.
See Appendix A of the ATM for WordPerfect User Guide for advice
about solving general problems.


PROBLEM
The ATM for WordPerfect printer drivers do not appear in the list
of additional printers in WordPerfect.

SOLUTION
You did not specify the correct directory for WordPerfect and/or
WordPerfect's printer driver files when you installed ATM for
WordPerfect. Find out the correct directory(ies) from your network
administrator and reinstall ATM for WordPerfect from the master
floppy disks.


PROBLEM
You installed Type 1 font files on the server and when you try to
print you receive an error message saying, "File in use during
open a file" or "File sharing violation" or a similar error
message.

SOLUTION
You don't have authorization to use the font files. You may need
assistance from your network administrator to correct this
problem. Flag all Type 1 font files so that they have Read-only,
Sharable attributes. The Sharable attribute should be set at the
network level.


PROBLEM
ATWP will not load because of insufficient memory.

SOLUTION
Your PC does not have enough conventional memory after loading
ATWP to load WP. Type MEM or CHKDSK C: to find how much
conventional memory you have free before loading ATWP. You should
have a minimum of 533 KB free.

You can increase the amount of conventional memory with any of the
following techniques:

* Use a memory manager such as QEMM, 386Max, or DOS 5.0's
  HIMEM.SYS to load device drivers in high memory above the 640 KB
  memory area.

* If you have a 386 processor, you can use the DOS 5 program
  EMM386.EXE to create expanded (EMS) memory that ATM for
  WordPerfect can use.

* Reduce the amount of conventional memory used by
  Terminate and Stay Resident (TSR) programs. TSR programs are
  usually started with commands in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

* Purchase more memory for your PC.


PROBLEM
Your Type 1 fonts disappear from the Base Font menu.

SOLUTION
Someone else may have loaded ATM for WordPerfect in the same
Printer File directory and overwritten your printer driver without
properly configuring it. Select the ATM for WordPerfect driver and
re-enable the fonts from the Select Printer, Cartridges and Fonts
menu. (See Chapter 1 of the ATM for WordPerfect User Guide for
instructions.)


PROBLEM
You are using an older version of Novell Netware (prior to version
3.11) and the Type 1 fonts do not print correctly.

SOLUTION
ATM for WordPerfect prints to the queue name rather than to a
printer number. Older versions of Novell Netware may be set up to
use printer numbers. You can check whether WordPerfect is set to
output to a printer number by pressing Shift-F7 (for Print), S
(for Select), E (for Edit), and noting which port is currently
specified. If the port is a single number (0 or 1, for example),
you are set to output to a printer number and you need to change
the port setting.

To resolve this, do one of the following:

* For Netware versions 2.1 and above, press O (Other) to change
  the port to the Novell queue name (such as PRINTQ_0).

* For Netware versions prior to 2.1, you need to use the Netware
  Spool command to associate LPT1 (or another port) with the
  printer queue to which you are printing. Then, run ATINSTAL /A
  (from the hard drive) and select Printer Port Mapping from the
  main menu. From the Printer Port Mapping screen, select LPT1 (or
  the port you're using) and press Enter. Highlight DOS device
  driver (network) and press Enter. Press F10 to exit the Printer
  Port Mapping screen and quit ATINSTAL. Finally, run ATWP and set
  up WordPerfect to print to the new port by pressing Shift-F7
  (for Print), S (for Select Printer), E ( for Edit), P (for
  Port).


PROBLEM
You are connected to a Novell network, you installed ATM for
WordPerfect, and you added the printer driver to WordPerfect for
DOS, but when you print, the Type 1 fonts do not print correctly.

SOLUTION
You may have chosen "Novell queue" as the printer port for ATM for
WordPerfect, but WordPerfect is set up to print to your captured
port (LPT1-LPT3). See "Printer Port Mapping" earlier in this
Readme file for instructions on how to set ATM for WordPerfect to
monitor the correct port.


PROBLEM
ATM for WordPerfect is installed correctly, and you know you are
printing to the correct port, but Type 1 fonts still do not print
correctly.

SOLUTION
If you are running WordPerfect for DOS from a menu such as
WordPerfect Office, you need to change the command to run
WordPerfect from WP to ATWP. This will load ATM for WordPerfect
and then load WordPerfect.


PROBLEM
Only one person needs to run ATM for WordPerfect, but that person
executes WordPerfect for DOS from the same menu as other users.

SOLUTION
Run ATM for WordPerfect as a Terminate and Stay Resident (TSR
program. To run ATM for WordPerfect as a TSR, add the command ATWP
/ATTSR to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Using this technique, ATM for
WordPerfect loads when the AUTOEXEC.BAT executes, and WordPerfect
can be run with the standard WP command.


PROBLEM
Network users have separate copies of Windows on their PCs, but
they share a single copy of WordPerfect for Windows on a network
server. After installing ATM for WordPerfect for one person, your
find that when other people print from WPWIN, they get the message
"Can't find GDX.DLL."

SOLUTION
When ATM for WordPerfect is installed for WordPerfect for Windows,
it tells WordPerfect to look for GDX.DLL when it prints. Because
Windows is on each PC, the shared WPWIN can't find this file. Copy
the GDX.DLL file from the Windows directory on the PC you just
installed to a directory on the server that is in the search path
for all network users.
