Installing Document Conversion Manager
======================================
System requirements This section describes the hardware,
system, printer driver, and memory
requirements for using Document
Conversion Manager.
Hardware Document Conversion Manager requires the
following hardware :
A 386-, or 486-based computer certified
for use with MS-Windows version 3.x, or
IBM OS/2 v2.x with full Windows
support.
A 1.2Mb 5¼" disk drive, or a 1.44Mb 3½"
disk drive.
A Microsoft Windows compatible mouse.
System software To use Document Conversion Manager you
must have Microsoft Windows 3.x OR IBM
OS/2 v 2.0 installed on your computer.
Memory Document Conversion Manager requires a
minimum of 512Kb of RAM to operate in
Windows version 3.x enhanced mode.
Document Conversion Manager will not
operate in Windows Real mode.
Disk space Document Conversion Manager requires
2 Mb of disk space to install correctly.
Installation You install Document Conversion Manager
from the Microsoft Windows version 3.x
Program Manager running under DOS 3.3 or
higher. The Install program transfers the
Document Conversion Manager program files
to your hard disk, and configures Document
Conversion Manager for use with WP
applications and printers.
The directions that follow assume that you
are performing a Workstation installation,
and starting the Install program from a
high-density drive A. If you start from a
different drive, substitute the letter of
that drive.
Install will need to know the location of
the work-station WP applications. If you
are installing for use with Wordperfect,
Install will need to know the location of
the WordPerfect printer drivers. These
files will have a .PRS or .WRS extension.
Running Install If the installation directory does not
exist, Install will create it for you.
- Insert the Program diskette in drive A and
close the door.
- Open the Windows Program Manager.
- Choose File/Run.
- Type A:\ INSTALL
- Choose OK
The Install program prompts you for
- the drive and directory where you want to install
Document Conversion Manager.
- The conversion READERS and WRITERS that you wish
to install.
Install assumes that you will be installing all READERS and
WRITERS. If you don't want to install everything, highlight those
READERS and WRITERS not to be installed and press REMOVE.
- Press OK when finished.
Install will display a list of Startable Applications
corresponding to the WRITERS being installed. These applications are :
Lotus Ami Pro v2 & v3 AMIPRO.EXE
WordPerfect for Windows v5.2 WPWIN.EXE
Microsoft Word for Windows v1 & v2 WINWORD.EXE
Install will search the system PATH and Windows environment to try
and locate the applications. If successful, the application path
will be displayed. If unsuccessful, you will need to enter the
path to the application with the application name, if you want to
launch documents as they are converted.
WORDPERFECT If you are installing the WordPerfect
WRITER, Install will need to know the
location of your WordPerfect printer
files. These files will have either a .PRS
or .WRS extension. Without these files
Document Conversion Manager may not run,
or may produce badly formatted documents.
If WordPerfect is not installed on your
work-station, Install will configure
Document Conversion Manager to produce
WordPerfect documents with a "vanilla"
printer driver and default Courier, Times
and Helvetic typefaces.
Install will prompt you for the work-station WP format.
Install will transfer the appropriate files to the specified
directory, and setup default .INI files in your Windows directory.
These files are :
DCM.INI, which tells Document Conversion Manager
which READERS and WRITERS are available,
the location of applications and whether
they are set startable, the setup values
for each pairing, and the work-station WP.
???PRN.INI, which contains printer definitions and
font mapping definitions for each READER.
The first three characters represent the
READER.
???FONT.INI, which provides the READER fonts/typestyles
definitions.
Install will setup associations for the following file extensions
according to the READERS being installed:
.DOC =
.RFT =
.WP5 = [drive][path]DCM2.EXE
.UPX =
.OPW =
.SAM =
Follow the Windows File Manager instructions to setup additional
associations, or to change existing associations.
The Install program will create a "Pembroke Applications" Program
Group containing the Document Conversion Manager icon, on your
desk-top.
****************************************************************
You must go through the SETUP procedures before converting
documents.
Not using SETUP to ensure that font mapping and an output
device are correctly defined may result in badly formatted
documents.
*****************************************************************
SERVER INSTALLATION
===================
Install copies all files to the server drive and directory
specified. You must then run NODESET.EXE from each workstation
requiring conversion.
If you are running OS/2 over a Novell network there may be
problems associated with a WIN-OS2 session that cause the
installation process to terminate the WIN-OS2 session. However
all the necessary files will be installed on the server.
You will need to re-start your WIN-OS2 session to run NODESET.EXE.
