README.NET 09/27/94
=================================================================
To the System Administator:
This README file contains information about networking
Presentations 3.0 for Windows that changed after the User's
Guide was printed.
Included is the following information.
1 Workstation Installation following Network Server
Installation
2 Environment Filename Syntax Change
3 Disabling Open File Options
4 Writing Tools and WTAPI.INI
5 Binary Initialisation File (.BIF) Tips
6 About .UNR Files
7 Supplementary Dictionary Files
8 Using the /CSLA Startup Option
9 Using the /U Startup Option
WORKSTATION INSTALLATION FOLLOWING NETWORK SERVER INSTALLATION
==============================================================
IMPORTANT! Once the network server installation of PRWin
3.0 is complete, you MUST open Presentations (double-click the
Network Settings icon) from the newly installed server BEFORE
allowing users to perform workstation installations.
ENVIRONMENT FILENAME SYNTAX CHANGE
==================================
For compliance with CD ROM, environment filenames now use
underscores (_) instead of brackets ({ }). For example, the
Presentations environment file, WP{PR}.ENV in previous versions,
is now named WP_PR_.ENV.
DISABLING OPEN FILE OPTIONS
===========================
Using the BIF Editor, you can disable the options on the File
Options pop-up list (for example, Remove Directory or Move) in
the directory dialog boxes that you do not wish your users to
have access to.
To disable specific File Options for all network users,
1 In the BIF Editor, open the WPCNET.BIF file, double-click
the WP Shared Code group, then double-click the Open File
section.
2 Choose Insert, then type Remove File Options in the Item
text box.
3 Choose Signed Word from the Item Type pop-up list.
4 Type the value which corresponds to the option you wish to
disable in the Value text box. The values for specific
options are as follows:
Copy 1
Move 2
Rename 4
Delete 8
Create Directory 32
Remove Directory 64
Print 128
Print List 256
If you wish to disable all options, type -1. If you wish to
disable multiple options, add the values of the options you wish
to disable, then type that number. For example, if you wish to
disable the Delete and Remove Directory options, type 72.
WRITING TOOLS AND WTAPI.INI
===========================
The WTAPI.INI file contains settings for each writing tool (for
example, Speller, Thesaurus, and Grammatik). When you use a
writing tool, Presentations first looks in the Windows directory
for WTAPI.INI. If the file is not found there, Presentations looks
in the WIN.INI file in the section called [Writing Tools] in an
entry called WTAPIPATH for its location. If you performed a
Corporate installation, an entry is placed in the .BIF file
pointing to the WTAPI.INI. During workstation installations the
WTAPIPATH entry is placed in the [Writing Tools] section of each
user's WIN.INI file and points to the location of the writing
tools. NOTE: You cannot change the names of writing tools using
the Edit Menu dialog box.
BINARY INITIALISATION FILE (.BIF) TIPS
======================================
To store users' .BIF files in an area other than the Windows or
Shared network area, specify a "relative" drive letter (for
example, H:) for the Shared Directory on Network option (under
Net Options). The Installation program will place the /PI
startup option along with the directory you have specified in the
SH_SH_.ENV file. When you start Presentations, it will read the
.ENV file, and save users'.BIF files to the users' mapping of H:.
If you store users' .BIF files in this way, we recommend that you
remove the /NT switch from the WP_PR_.ENV file since name hashing
will not be necessary.
The WPCNET.BIF file is found in the directory specified by the
/NI startup option or in the Windows system directory.
ABOUT .UNR FILES
================
If you use name hashing, a User Name Resolution (.UNR) file is
created to avoid duplicate hashed .BIF names. This file is
placed in the location specified by the /UNR startup option or in
the Windows directory.
The .UNR file will be created with a pattern of XXXX.UNR where X
represents characters from a 32-bit CRC based on the user ID.
SUPPLEMENTARY DICTIONARY FILES
==============================
The default location for user supplementary dictionary files is
the Windows directory. You can change this location by adding a
group called "WPSpeller," with a section called "Settings," and
an item called "Default Path for Supplementary Dictionaries" in
the WPCNET.BIF file. The item type is ANSI string. You can use
a full path or a relative drive letter. The Supplementary
Dictionary File naming convention is WxxxxxUS.SUP, where the five
x's represent the hashed name based on the user name.
USING THE /CSLA STARTUP OPTION
==============================
Presentations 3.0 for Windows' login alias switch allows for
lowercase characters. Most networks, however, return the user's
ID in uppercase characters. This could cause a problem when
generating a hash on the values. The hash based on the user ID
should be done on the uppercase version of the login alias only.
Presentations 3.0 for Windows has set the login alias to uppercase
by default. If you wish the login alias be case sensitive, the
Case Sensitive Login Alias (/CSLA) startup option suppresses
uppercasing.
USING THE /U STARTUP OPTION
===========================
The /U startup option is used for BIF file naming. A maximum
of four characters can be used; any characters after the
first four are ignored.
If both the /NT and /U startup options are used, then the value
of /U is inserted as characters 4-8 of the filename. For
example, if /U=grey is set, and the user's network name is
"blue", then the personal BIF file name would be BLUEGREY.BIF.
Without /U=grey, the personal BIF filename would be BLUEFU0S.BIF,
where "fu0s" is the hashed portion of the name. The /U value
replaces the hashed portion of the filename.
