- ALDUS CORPORATION
- INSTALLATION NOTES FOR PAGEMAKER 5.0
- JUNE, 1993.
-
- The following information was not available when the
- PageMaker 5.0 installation instructions went to press.
- Please read these notes before installing PageMaker.
-
- ============================================
-
- STREAMLINING INSTALLATION PERFORMANCE
- ============================================
-
- A low BUFFERS setting in your CONFIG.SYS file can
- substantially increase the time it takes to install
- PageMaker. For that reason, the Aldus Setup program will
- alert you if the BUFFERS setting in your CONFIG.SYS file is
- less than 20. For optimal installation performance, consider
- increasing the BUFFERS statement in your CONFIG.SYS to 50.
- (IMPORTANT: make a system diskette that contains a backup
- copy of the CONFIG.SYS before editing it, as an editing
- error can cause your system to function improperly. If you
- do edit CONFIG.SYS, you will need to restart your computer
- for the changes to take effect. Refer to your Windows or DOS
- documentation for details on CONFIG.SYS.) Disk-caching
- software, such as Windows SMARTDrive, can supplement the DOS
- file buffering system. If your caching program is set up to
- cache the reading of files from your floppy drive, you will
- not need to change your buffers setting. In general, using
- SMARTDrive or another disk-caching program helps ensure
- optimal installation. Windows is typically setup to run
- SMARTDrive automatically. If for some reason SMARTDrive is
- not installed on your system, or if you want to change its
- settings, refer to your Windows documentation for
- instructions.
-
- ============================================
-
- MAKING SURE HARD DRIVE SPACE IS AVAILABLE
- ============================================
-
- You will need approximately 2MB more free space on your hard
- drive than the Aldus Setup program informs you during
- installation.
-
- ============================================
-
- PREPARING TO INSTALL PRINTER DRIVERS
- ============================================
-
- The HP LaserJetIII driver included with Windows 3.1 does not
- support the newer universal driver technology required by
- PageMaker 5.0. To install the HP LaserJet III driver
- included with PageMaker, follow these steps:
- 1) When Aldus Setup opens the "Printers" Control Panel,
- remove any HP printer listings from the "Installed Printers"
- list box.
- 2) Follow the steps with the heading "To install a printer
- driver in Windows," beginning on page 6 of the PageMaker 5.0
- Getting Started manual.
- 3) When finished installing, use the File Manager to delete
- the files HPPCL5A.DRV and HPPCL5A.HLP from your
- Windows\System directory. (Note, if you receive an error
- message, restart Windows and try deleting these files
- again.)
-
- Also note that if the "Printers" module is suppressed in the
- Windows CONTROL.INI file, you can encounter minor problems
- with the Control Panel icon during PageMaker installation.
-
- ============================================
- USING PAGEMAKER 5.0 WITH OTHER ALDUS PRODUCTS
- ============================================
-
- If use the Aldus Setup program to remove existing Aldus
- dictionaries on your hard drive, note that you'll also
- delete the corresponding user dictionary (which stores
- custom spelling and hyphenation you specified during spell-
- checks). We recommend that you move the user dictionary (the
- filename extension is .UDC) to a different directory before
- you remove an existing dictionary with Aldus Setup. You can
- then use the Dictionary Editor utility (included with
- PageMaker 5.0) to convert the .UDC file so that PageMaker
- 5.0 can use it.
-
- If you have Aldus IntelliDraw 1.0 or the Aldus
- PhotoStyler/Gallery Effects Accessory Pack installed on your
- system when you install PageMaker 5.0, you will have
- conflicts between versions of the ALDVM.DLL and ALDVMRES.RSL
- support files required by these applications. PageMaker
- installs a utility that resolves the conflict by updating
- the files so that the applications can share them. After
- installing PageMaker, take the following steps:
- 1) In File Manager, open the ALDUS\UKENGLSH\UTILITY
- directory.
- 2) Double-click the IDUPDATE.EXE file.
- 3) For each file update message, click "OK" as prompted, or
- follow the instructions on screen.
- 4) When the utility notifies you that the update process is
- complete, click "OK." You can then run your Aldus
- applications as usual.
-
- ============================================
- NETWORK INSTALLATION AND NETWORK COPY DETECTION
- ============================================
-
- The PageMaker 5.0 license agreement permits one person to use
- a purchased copy of PageMaker at one time. However, if you
- purchased a ten-user license package, up to ten stations may
- use the same copy of PageMaker at once. Refer to the license
- agreement card in the PageMaker 5.0 box for details.
-
- You are responsible for ensuring that PageMaker is used in
- accordance with the software license agreement. If you have a
- Novell Netware network (version 2.15 or later), PageMaker's
- built-in Network Copy Detection helps you ensure legal usage
- at your site.
- Each copy of PageMaker has a unique identification number that
- identifies it on a Novell network. (Copies of PageMaker
- installed from the same disk set have the same network
- identification number.) When a copy of PageMaker licensed for
- a single-user is started, its network identification number is
- broadcast over the network in a semaphore. Users starting an
- additional copy of PageMaker with the same network
- identification number will be required to exit PageMaker
- immediately.
-
- For more information on network installation and on Network
- Copy Detection, read the file NETWORK.WRI (installed in the
- PM5 directory) after installing PageMaker.
-
- ============================================
-
- LAUNCHING PAGEMAKER 5.0 AFTER INSTALLATION
- ============================================
-
- If you launch PageMaker from the File Manager, be sure to
- click the file "pm5.exe" as opposed to "pm5app.exe."
