Three Ways Network User Initials Assigned Wit |

WordPerfect® 6.0 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: How are network user initials assigned in WordPerfect 6.0 for DOS? Solutions: There are three ways for user initials to be assigned when running the network version of WP 6.0 DOS: 1. The /U startup option can be used for each user. This can be specified in any of various locations (e.g., AUTOEXEC.BAT, Login Script, SET command, command-line startup option). 2. If the network runs Office 3.1 or Office 4.0, WP 6.0 can access user initials from the USERID.FIL file. Users can make the USERID.FIL file available to WP 6.0 by simply adding the directory where the file resides to the search path. The USERID.FIL comes default with Office 3.1; users must create it with Office 4.0. 3. WP 6.0 DOS includes an algorithm to hash user IDs. WP 6.0 "creates user initials based on a user's name (the network login name). The resulting initials bear little resemblance to the original user name." The user ID will consist of number and/or letter codes that will be unique and consistent for each user. To determine which user ID belongs to which user, either look in the Help|WPInfo screen, or type NDIR (Novell command) in the directory where the TEMP files are located. Using NDIR will show which files were created by which user. (Note: The first two options were available with WP 5.1 DOS. The third option is new to WP 6.0 DOS.) |
