WordPerfect 5.1 Interim Release and Update Pr |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: This is a copy of the information contained in an update package. The diskettes in this package represent a WordPerfect interim release. Some files on the diskettes have been changed to improve the WordPerfect program. Locate the WordPerfect 5.1 Installation Program To start the Installation program: 1. Go to a DOS prompt (e.g., A:, A>, B:, B>, C:, C>). 2. Type the letter of the drive where the Install/Learn/Utilities 1 diskette is located, and press Enter. 3. Type Install and press Enter. Install the files With the Installation program displayed on the screen: 1. Type Y to answer yes to the "Welcome to the WordPerfect 5.1 Installation program, Continue?" 2. Type Y or N depending on whether or not you are installing the files to a hard disk. When you install WordPerfect, the Installation program creates a .INS file in the directory that contains WP.EXE. If you have previously installed WordPerfect and the directory that contains WP.EXE is part of your PATH command, the Installation program determines where you last installed WordPerfect and will not ask you if you are installing your files to a hard disk. If this is the case, skip step 2. 3. Select Update (5). If you are only installing or updating a printer file (.ALL or .PRS), select Printer (4) in step 3. Then insert the new Printer diskette in the specified drive and press Enter. Next select the printer you want to install by typing the number next to its name. Follow the prompts until you are finished and skip over the rest of these steps. For more information, see Printer files below. 4. Type the letter of the drive you want to install the files from, type a colon, then press Enter. If you are using the Installation program that came with the 11/06/89 (or later) version of WordPerfect 5.1, skip steps 4 and 5. 5. Type the name of the directory that contains the WP.EXE file, then press Enter. WP.EXE is the main WordPerfect program file, and the Installation program uses information from the directory that contains WP.EXE to determine where some of your files can be found. 6. Select the group of files you want to update. Appendix Q: WordPerfect Files in the WordPerfect Reference Manual lists which files are installed with which groups. 7. At this point, follow the prompts on the screen, answering yes or no by typing Y or N and providing directory or drive names by typing the name of the directory or drive followed with a colon (:) and press Enter. When WordPerfect asks you to insert a master diskette, "master" refers to the diskettes in this interim release. 8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 for all the groups of files you want to update. 9. When you are finished, select Exit (7) to exit the Installation program. NOTES Changes A README file on disk 1 of each diskette set lists the enhancements to files on that diskette set. README file are named README followed by a dot and an extension that represents the file(s) they discuss (e.g., README.WP). The README files are not installed with the Installation program, but can be copied, viewed, and printed from disk just like a 5.1 document. Printer Files If you are only installing or updating a printer file (.PRS or .ALL) the information under step 3 in Install the Files above tells you what you should do. When the Installation program installs the printer files, it extracts a file (.PRS) with information specific for your printer from a much larger printer information file (.ALL). The rest of the information on this page is only for those of you who are updating printer files and have modified your original .ALL or .PRS file with the WordPerfect Printer program (PTR.EXE) or a third-party soft font program. If you have not done so, you don't need to read this information. After you select the printer, the Installation program asks you if you want to install the .ALL file from which the .PRS file will be extracted. If you modified your original .ALL file with the printer program (PTR.EXE) or a third party soft font program, the Installation program will prompt you with a message if the modifications cannot be copied to the updated file. Answering No cancels the process and prevents the Installation program from updating your original .ALL and .PRS files (see the Important note below). Once the .ALL file is installed, the Installation program creates a .PRS file which will replace any existing .PRS files with the same name. If you made modifications to your original .PRS file that can't be copied to the new .PRS file, the Installation program asks you if you want to continue updating. Answering No to the prompt retains your changes in the new file. Important: If you made any major modifications to either the original .PRS or .ALL files with the Printer program or a third party soft font program, press Cancel (F1) to cancel out of the Installation program before you update your printer files. Then make backup copies of your .PRS and .ALL files (give the copies an extension other than .PRS or .ALL to prevent them from being overwritten). After you have made backup copies of your .PRS and .ALL files, return to the Installation program and update the printer file. The backup copies let you restore your old files (or copy changes from the old files to the updated files) if you find that the updated files don't suit your needs. If you restore the old files, restore the .ALL and .PRS extensions, or WordPerfect won't be able to use them. |
