Problem

Solutions: You can select up to 10 printers during one INSTALL session for WordPerfect 5.1. If a user wants to select more than 10, he can either (1) exit and run INSTALL again, or (2) Unsquish one or more of the .ALL files; copy them to your hard drive; and select printers just as in WordPerfect 5.0. Once one printer is selected from an .ALL file, that .ALL file is installed to the hard drive which means that any printer from that .ALL file can then be selected just as in 5.0. The printer disks which ship with WordPerfect will be numbered 1 - 3 for the 5.25" diskettes and will be numbered 1 and 2 for the 3.5" diskettes. The 3.5" disk 1 will contain the same files as the 5.25" disks 1 and 2. Disk 2 in 3.5" will contain the same files as 3 for 5.25" disks. This numbering convention varies from the numbering standard used in WordPerfect 5.0 where the 3.5" diskettes were numbered 1/2 and 3/4. The reason for this change in the name of the diskettes has to do with the way the files are "spanned" across the shipping diskettes; it allows the INSTALL program to give consistent user prompts during the installation process, no matter which disk size is being used.
