WPCorp Products On Networks Need To Use One C |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: Whenever a system administrator plans to install any WPCorp product, he or she needs to review the drive letters in use and find one common drive letter to be used by all the users for the application the system administrator is installing. (This precept holds true more so for peer to peer LANs than distributed LANs.) Using a SUBSTitute command is not acceptable. Using a SET statement in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file on the server that identifies a different drive letter is not appropriate. As an example, on LANtastic networks all the machines on the network can be servers. Each of these machines may have a local hard drive called C:. The machine functioning as the server surely will have a C: drive. LANtastic allows users to assign a drive letter to a shared resource. The shared resource will most likely be a directory on the server's hard disk. Each and every user's workstation must see this shared resource the same way -- including the workstation that may also be the server. The main reason is to avoid potential problems with user-specific .SET and TEMP files. Do not encourage users to use the SUBSTitute command. Do not encourage users to make special machine-specific changes to the server's startup file to include a /PS option. |
