The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: The necessary directories should be set up prior to installation. There should be a \WP51 directory, a \SET directory for user .SET files, a \PRINTER directory, a \LEARN directory, and a \USERNAME directory. These should be subdirectories off the drive the network has been assigned to. The CONFIG.SYS should have at least the following: Files=30 Buffers = 20 The AUTOEXEC.BAT should have the following: SET COMSPEC=e:\COMMAND.COM (e=drive for COMMAND.COM) SET WP=/NT-x/U-xxx (x = Network type - xxx = user initials) 1. At the correct prompt for drive and directory for WordPerfect, change to the A: drive and type INSTALL. 2. Choose option 3 - Network. 3. Select option 2 - Install to: (which drive). 4. Install printer to a directory where users have all rights except parental (e.g., E:\WP51\PRINTER). 5. Install learn files to a Learn subdirectory. 6. Give the supervisor the right to modify .SET files using NWPSETUP.EXE. 7. Create the environment file WP{WP}.ENV in the program directory for WordPerfect. It should include /NT=X (network type) and /PS=E:\WP51\SETUP. 8. Set flags or attributes according to the network type. For Novell, the program files should be set to Read, Open, Search. Program files in the WP5.1 directory should be set to Shareable Read Only, or use the DOS ATTRIB command +R. 9. All other directories should be set to have all rights. This allows users the ability to modify the .SET files (change default printers, screen settings, etc.), .PRS files (fonts, forms, etc.), save documents, and use the tutorial. 10. Invoke WordPerfect by typing user initials at the WP directory prompt to create the user's .SET file. After a user has entered WP for the first time, and his initials are in a .SET file, he can enter WordPerfect anytime by typing WP.
