Problem

Solutions: Installation Instructions
The diskettes contained in this package contain compressed files. In order to use the files on these diskettes, the user MUST run the WordPerfect Installation program. To do so, insert the Install/Learn/Utilities 1 diskette into drive A. At the A DOS prompt, type Install and press Enter. Then follow the instruction on the screen.

If you have any doubt as to how to install the program, be sure to select the Basic Installation procedure in the Installation program.

If you are installing WordPerfect on a network, please read through Appendix R: Network Administration in the WordPerfect Reference Manual before running the Installation program.


Note:      It is important to have 20 formatted disks prior to installing. Use the DISKCOPY command to copy the disks for the working copies.

1.      After the working copies are ready, create a CONFIG.SYS on the working system (used to boot the computer) with
Files=20
Buffers=20
2.      Reboot the system with the working System disk.
3.      With the working master install disk in drive A: type Install and press Enter.
4.      Type Y when prompted to continue.
5.      If prompted to install on a hard drive type N (No).
6.      Choose option 2, Custom and a new menu will appear.
7.      Option 1 will be Install Files From, type in A: for the answer.
8.      Option 2 will be Install Files To, type in B: for the answer.
9.      After setting options 1 and 2, select option 3. The user will be prompted to put the respective disks in the appropriate drives during the install process.
10.      When it is time to install the .ALL files, put the disk that you labeled .ALL in drive B and the appropriate Printer Disk in Drive A. The .PRS file can later be installed on the program disk from Shift-F7,S,2,2,B press Enter.
11.      If the .PRS file is large because of fonts, laser, etc., the printer file may have to be on the data disk.


Operation Instructions
Some files that the user may not need such as Help, macros, or keyboard files may be deleted or transferred from the working program disk. These files are:
1.      KEYS.MRS, this file maps the keyboard for other keyboard layouts.
2.      PRINTER.TST, this file can be printed as a document to see what the capabilities of your printer are.
3.      STANDARD.IRS, this is the mouse driver file.
4.      STANDARD.PRS, this is the standard printer driver.
5.      STANDARD.VRS, this is the standard graphics and text driver file.
6.      WP.MRS, this is the macro file.
7.      WP.QRS, this is the equation editor file.


The .PRS file can be directed to the B: drive in the case of a large printer file. Printers that cause large .PRS files might be, for example, laser printers with soft fonts.

The overflow files can be directed the the B: drive using the startup option: B>A:WP/D-B:. If the user has expanded memory using a ramdisk (and no hard disk), the startup option would be B>A:WP/D-D:/R.
