WORKSTATION INSTALLATION FOLLOWING NETWORK SERVER INSTALLATION
==============================================================
IMPORTANT:  Once the network server installation of WPWin 6.1 is
complete, you MUST open WordPerfect (double-click the WordPerfect
Admin icon) from the newly installed server BEFORE allowing users
to perform workstation installations.

DOCUMENTATION CHANGES
=====================
Because of a program change made since the WPWin 6.1 User's Guide
was printed, all references to "WPCNET Settings" and "WPCNET
Flagging" are incorrect in Appendix D: Networking WordPerfect.
"WPCNET Settings" should be "WordPerfect Admin," and "WPCNET
Flagging" should be "Public BIF Admin."  However, if you
installed WPWin 6.1 over the top of WPWin 6.0/6.0a and chose to
use the same program group, the icon names will be unchanged.

Also in Appendix D: Networking WordPerfect, you will find
references to "shared code" or "shared program files."  These
references are generally to files that are installed under the
PerfectFit Components group in the setup program.

DISABLING PASSWORD PROTECTION
=============================
Using the BIF Editor, you can disable the Password Protect option
to prevent users from password protecting the files they create.

To disable password protection for all network users,

1    Double-click the Public BIF Admin icon to start the BIF
     Editor, open the WPCNET.BIF file, double-click the
     WordPerfect group, then double-click the Environment
     section.

2    Double-click the item Password Protect Enable, choose Edit,
     select False, then choose OK.  Skip to step 6.

     or

     If you do not have an item called Password Protect Enable,
     follow steps 3-5.

3    Choose Insert, then type Password Protect Enable in the Item
     text box.

4    Choose Boolean from the Item Type pop-up list.

5    Select False.

6    Select Override Private .BIF Value.

7    Choose Close, then choose Yes to save your changes.

DISABLING PASSWORD ASTERISKS
============================
Using the BIF Editor, you can disable the asterisks that appear
while typing passwords (for security reasons).

To disable password asterisks for all network users,

1    Double-click the Public BIF Admin icon to start 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 Do Not Echo Password Asterisks in
     the Item text box.

3    Choose Boolean from the Item Type pop-up list.

4    Select True.

5    Select Override Private .BIF Value.

6    Choose Close, then choose Yes to save your changes.

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 users to have
access to.

To disable specific File Options for all network users,

1    Double-click the Public BIF Admin icon to start the BIF
     Editor, open the WPCNET.BIF file, double-click the WP Shared
     Code group, then double-click the Open File section.

     Rename Directory        4096

     * Tables in this README file are formatted for display
     in the setup program.  Columns may be misaligned if you
     retrieve the file into a text editor.

     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.

5    Select Override Private .BIF Value.

6    Choose Close, then choose Yes to save your changes.

DISABLING OPEN/SAVE AS BUTTONS
==============================
Using the BIF Editor, you can remove buttons from directory
dialog boxes that you do not wish users to have access to.

To disable specific buttons for all network users,

1    Double-click the Public BIF Admin icon to start 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 Open/Save As Buttons in the
     Item text box.

3    Choose Signed Word from the Item Type pop-up list.

     * Tables in this README file are formatted for display
     in the setup program.  Columns may be misaligned if you
     retrieve the file into a text editor.

     If you wish to remove all buttons, type -1.  If you wish to
     disable multiple buttons, add the values of the buttons you
     wish to disable, then type that number.  For example, if you
     wish to disable the View and QuickFinder buttons, type 3.

5    Select Override Private .BIF Value.

6    Choose Close, then choose Yes to save your changes.

MAKING OPEN AS COPY BE CHECKED BY DEFAULT
=========================================
Using the BIF Editor, you can specify that the Open As Copy check
box on the Open File dialog box always be checked.

To make Open As Copy always be checked for all network users,

1    Double-click the Public BIF Admin icon to start 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 Open As Copy in the Item text box.

3    Choose Boolean from the Item Type pop-up list.

4    Select True.

5    Select Override Private .BIF Value.

6    Choose OK, choose Close, then choose Yes to save your
     changes.

If you later decide to make the Open As Copy check box be
unchecked by default, change the value to False in step 4 above,
or delete the Open As Copy item from the .BIF file.

WRITING TOOLS AND WTAPI.INI
===========================
The WTAPI.INI file contains settings for each writing tool (for
example, Spell Checker, Thesaurus, and Grammatik).  When you use
a writing tool, WordPerfect first looks in the Windows directory
for WTAPI.INI.  If the file isn't found there, WordPerfect looks
in the WIN.INI file in the section called [Writing Tools] in an
entry called WTAPIPATH for its location.  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 setup program will place the /PI startup
option along with the directory you have specified in the
SH_SH_.ENV file.  When you start WordPerfect, it will read the
.ENV file, and save users'.BIF files to their mapping of H:.  If
you store users' .BIF files in this way, we recommend that you
remove the /NT switch from the WP_WP_.ENV file because name
hashing won't 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,
including the WTSPELxx.QCS file (where xx is the language code),
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.

If users are sharing a common directory for these files, you
should use the /NT startup option so that WordPerfect can create
a unique file for each user.  The file naming convention is
WxxxxxUS.SUP and WxxxxxUS.QCS, where the five x's represent the
hashed name based on the user name (in this example, US is the
language code).

MAKING QUICKFINDER INDEXES AVAILABLE ON THE NETWORK
===================================================
To save network disk space, you can index the files on a network
and create one set of network QuickFinder indexes that all users
may access.  As the supervisor, you need to generate the network
indexes and then place information about these indexes in the
public .BIF file (WPCNET.BIF) so that users may access the
indexes.

NOTE: Because you cannot edit the WPCNET.BIF file while it is in
use, you will need to make these changes when no users are
running WPWin.

To make QuickFinder indexes available to network users,

1    Start WPWin using the WordPerfect Admin icon.

2    Choose QuickFinder from the File menu, then choose Indexer.

3    Select Preferences from the Options pop-up list.

4    In the Location for Index Files text box, specify a network
     directory where users can access the indexes you will
     create.

5    Choose OK.

6    Generate indexes of network directories.

     You can create network or "search only" indexes with unique
     names that will sort all of those types of indexes together.
     For example, starting each network index with "(NET)" would
     keep all indexes that began with "(NET)" together.

7    Choose Import from the Options pop-up list.

8    Select the directory that contains the indexes you generated
     in step 6.

9    Select the indexes you wish to make available to users on
     the network.

10   Choose Import.

     NOTE:  If any indexes require a name, you will be prompted
     for a new name.

11   Choose Close.

12   Exit WPWin.

13   Double-click the Public BIF Admin icon and open the
     WPQuickFinderFileIndexer group.

14   Delete the "Indexes" section and each index name that
     appears on the item list.

15   Choose Close, then choose Yes to save your changes.

Although network users can search or get information from the
network indexes you make available to them using these steps,
they cannot update, edit, delete, move, or rename them.

USING WORDPERFECT 6.1 WITH GROUPWISE 4.1 OR WORDPERFECT 6.0a
============================================================
If you have installed GroupWise 4.1 or you plan to continue using
WordPerfect 6.0a for Windows on the network, do not use Universal
Naming Convention (UNC) when specifying the location for shared
code.  If you do, GroupWise 4.1 and WordPerfect 6.0a will not run
unless WordPerfect 6.1 is already running.

USING THE /CSLA STARTUP OPTION
==============================
WordPerfect 6.1 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.
WordPerfect 6.1 for Windows has set the login alias to uppercase
by default.  If you wish the login alias to be case sensitive,
the Case Sensitive Login Alias (/CSLA) startup option suppresses
uppercasing.

USING THE /U STARTUP OPTION
===========================
The /U startup option has different functionality in WPWin 6.1
than it did in previous versions of WordPerfect.  The value set
for /U is now used for BIF file naming and user information in
comment and document summary fields.  Any number of characters
can be specified, but only the first four are used.

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=gray is set, and the user's network name is
"blue", then the personal BIF file name would be BLUEGRAY.BIF.
Without /U=gray, 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.

ERROR RUNNING QUICKFINDER FROM WPWIN 6.0 WORKSTATIONS
=====================================================
If you have upgraded your network server installation to WPWin
6.1 from the 10/01/93 release of WPWin 6.0, and users of 6.0 have
not yet done a 6.1 workstation installation, they may receive the
error message "No resource language information - Reinstall
QuickFinder" when they try to use QuickFinder from their
workstations.

To correct this, have the users do a new workstation
installation, or add the line "qfwin20=US" to their WIN.INI file.

ENVIRONMENT FILENAME SYNTAX CHANGE
==================================
If you are upgrading from WPWin 5.1/5.2, please note that for
compliance with CD ROM, environment filenames now use underscores
(_) instead of brackets ({ }).  For example, the WordPerfect
environment file, WP{WP}.ENV in versions earlier than 6.0, is now
named WP_WP_.ENV.
