Subdocument

A subdocument is a document linked to a master document.  When a master document is expanded, the linked subdocuments are retrieved into the master document.


QuickLaunch

QuickLaunch preloads a Windows session to allow WordPerfect 6.x for Windows to run faster.

QLWIN supports the following command line switches:

Switch	Command
/wpc=<directory>	used to specify the location of the shared code DLLs.  If this option isn't specified, the directory specified by the \WPConfig\SHWin2X\Preferred entry in REG.DAT is used
/wpcnt	used when the shared code directories are located on the network. "0" specifies that the shared code DLLs should not be loaded at all.  This option is normally used when a server install (of any application) exists.  In order to allow the "WPCNET Settings" and "WPCNET Flagging" icons to load the proper BIF file, shared code cannot be loaded at all when they are executed. "1" through "60" specifies that QuickLaunch should periodically (every 1-60 seconds, depending on the parameter) check for the existence of the shared code DLLs.  Once they exist, they should be loaded.  This option is normally used when a workstation install (of any application) exists.  Because QuickLaunch is normally loaded BEFORE a user logs on to the network, QuickLaunch needs to periodically check to see if the user has logged onto the network.  Once the user has logged on, the shared code DLLs can be loaded. If this option is not specified at all, and the shared code DLLs cannot be located, QuickLaunch will immediately shutdown.


Shared Applications Folder

The Shared Applications folder contains the following programs and folders:

Automatic Document Detection Utility

  Startup Commands

  Printing to the Network

  Possible Traps While Running in Win-OS/2

  Moving Your Desktop from HPFS to FAT

Settings Configuration

Running WordPerfect 6.x for Windows under OS/2 2.1 requires some configuration of the WordPerfect Program object's Settings notebook.  When you use SETUP.EXE to install the WordPerfect 6.x for Windows folder, these settings are changed automatically.  The following settings are changed in the Win-OS/2 settings dialog box on the Session tab:

Setting Name	Default	Suggested
WIN_RUN_MODE	STANDARD	ENHANCED
DOS_FILES	20	100
DOS_HIGH	OFF	ON
DPMI_DOS_API	DISABLED	ENABLED
DPMI_MEMORY_LIMIT	4	128
IDLE_SECONDS	0	5
IDLE_SENSITIVITY	75/95	95
XMS_MEMORY_LIMIT	2048	6144+
WIN_CLIPBOARD	ON	ON
WIN_DDE	ON	ON

Startup Commands

The following four switches correspond to the checkboxes in the Options dialog box:

Switch	Command
/fixwps	Destroys, then recreates all objects from scratch and will remove any objects that no longer exist on the hard disk. This option works around a known OS/2 problem in the object installation and has been reported to IBM.
/norestartobjects	Does not add SET RESTARTOBJECTS=STARTUPFOLDERSONLY to your CONFIG.SYS file.
/noquicklaunch	Does not place QuickLaunch in the startup folder (it will be placed in the Shared Applications Folder instead).
/nobackup	Does not create backup copies of CONFIG.SYS, OS2.INI, and OS2SYS.INI before installing / uninstalling.
The following switches will cause the user interface to be skipped completely--the (un)installation will start immediately.  Multiple instances of these switches can be used (i.e., "/i=wp6,s /i=wp6,w" to install server and workstation support at the same time):

Switch	Command
/i=xxx,y	Install the workplace support for application xxx (currently only "WP6" is supported) and installation type y (N=normal, S=server, W=workstation).
/u=xxx,y	Uninstall the workplace support for application xxx and installation type y.

QLWIN supports the following command line switches:

Switch	Command
/wpc=<directory>	Used to specify the location of the shared code DLLs.  If this option isn't specified, the directory specified by the \WPConfig\SHWin2X\Preferred entry in REG.DAT is used.
/wpcnt	Used when the shared code directories are located on the network. "0" specifies that the shared code DLLs should not be loaded at all.  This option is normally used when a server install (of any application) exists.  In order to allow the "WPCNET Settings" and "WPCNET Flagging" icons to load the proper BIF file, shared code cannot be loaded at all when they are executed. "1" through "60" specifies that QuickLaunch should periodically (every 1-60 seconds, depending on the parameter) check for the existence of the shared code DLLs.  Once they exist, they should be loaded.  This option is normally used when a workstation install (of any application) exists.  Because QuickLaunch is normally loaded BEFORE a user logs on to the network, QuickLaunch needs to periodically check to see if the user has logged onto the network.  Once the user has logged on, the shared code DLLs can be loaded. If this option is not specified at all and the shared code DLLs cannot be located, QuickLaunch will immediately shut down.
Printing to the Network

If you are having difficulty printing from the LPTx printer port when using a network printer, try using the corresponding LPTx.OS2 printer port.

To use a LPTx.OS2 printer port with a WordPerfect printer driver, you must print to a file using the filename LPTx.OS2.

Possible Traps While Running in Win-OS/2

If you experience a trap in WordPerfect 6.x for Windows while running in seamless Win-OS/2 mode and you are using the QuickLaunch feature, you may end up with some WordPerfect 6.x open view entries in your Window List that cannot be closed.  The operating system has not told the OS/2-Win-OS/2 communication mechanism that the WordPerfect 6.x for Windows application is no longer running.  This problem has been reported to IBM.

You can resolve this problem by closing down all of your seamless Win-OS/2 applications, then closing down the QuickLaunch application.  This will shut down the seamless Win-OS/2 session completely.  Once the seamless Win-OS/2 session has terminated, your system should be back to normal.

Moving Your Desktop from HPFS to FAT

When running any Windows application in Win-OS/2 mode under OS/2 version 2.x, it is important to choose a disk format that will enable that application to run to the best of its ability.

With the FAT file system, all filenames and directory names have a maximum length of eight characters with a three-character extension (for example, FILENAME.EXT).

With the HPFS file system, any filename or directory name can be as long as 254 characters with more than three characters in the extension.

Any Windows or DOS application you run under OS/2 version 2.x will only be able to use files with standard DOS filenames (as many as eight characters with a maximum three-character extension).  Any files with HPFS long names will be hidden from your Windows and DOS applications, including all files with long subdirectory names.

Steps

To move your OS/2 desktop from one disk partition to another without having to reinstall the operating system,

1	Make sure you are using OS/2 version 2.1 or later.

2	Double-click the OS/2 System folder.

3	Double-click the Drives folder within the OS/2 System folder.

4	Double-click the disk object where you installed OS/2 (C: by default).

5	Look for your desktop directory in the tree hierarchy for that disk.  It should be called Desktop or OS!2 2.0 Desktop and have an office desk icon.

6	Once you find the desktop object, drag it to a FAT disk partition.

7	While your desktop is moving, do not reboot or open other objects. Once the move is complete, wait a few seconds while OS/2 writes all desktop link information back to your hard disk.


Templates

Purpose

Use templates to quickly create professional-looking newsletters, envelopes, fax cover sheets, letters, memos, and more.

Steps

To use a document template,

1	Open the PerfectOffice for Windows folder, open the WordPerfect 6.x for Windows folder, then double-click the WordPerfect Templates folder.

2	Select the appropriate template, then drag the template to another folder or to your desktop.

WordPerfect will open with the template in the document window.  The template will prompt you for information (for example, your name and phone number).  After you enter the information once, the template will automatically merge this information into any template subsequently opened.

QuickLaunch

Purpose

Use QuickLaunch to preload a Windows session to allow PerfectOffice applications to run faster.

QLWIN supports the following command line switches:

/wpc=<directory>  used to specify the location of the shared code DLLs.  If this option isn't specified, the directory specified by the \WPConfig\SHWin2X\Preferred entry in REG.DAT is used.

/wpcnt  used when the shared code directories are located on the network.

"0" specifies that the shared code DLLs should not be loaded at all.  This option is normally used when a server install (of any application) exists.  In order to allow the "WPCNET Settings" and"WPCNET Flagging" icons to load the proper BIF file, shared code cannot be loaded at all when they are executed.

"1" through "60" specifies that QuickLaunch should periodically (every 1 60 seconds, depending on the parameter) check for the existence of the shared code DLLs.  Once they exist, they should be loaded.  This option is normally used when a workstation install (of any application) exists.

Because QuickLaunch is normally loaded before a user logs on to the network, QuickLaunch needs to periodically check to see if the user has logged onto the network.  Once the user has logged on, the shared code DLLs can be loaded.

      	If this option is not specified at all, and the shared code DLLs cannot be located, QuickLaunch will immediately shutdown.
