382.0. "PAK name for ALL-IN-1 V3.0?" by TENNIS::KAM (Kam USDS (714)261-4133 (DTN 535) IVO) Tue Mar 31 1992 23:59

We're trying to install ALL-IN-1 V3.0 and it's requesting a PAK.  In VTX PAK 
it's not obvious what PAK to use.  Can you give us a pointer?


	thanks

382.1What does it offer?AIMTEC::WICKS_AVote Bill'n'Opus for a weirder USAWed Apr 01 1992 01:3313
    Kam,
    
    Doesn't it offer you one called ALLIN1?
    
    I know that's not the proper spelling of the product name but that's
    what the license is called or so I thought.
    
    Unfortunately I can't check for you since the relevant page in VTX
    isn't available to me.
    
    Regards,

382.2got confused between ALLIN1 & A1-xxxxTENNIS::KAMKam USDS (714)261-4133 (DTN 535) IVOWed Apr 01 1992 02:4420
    Yep, you're right.  I was doing a search on A1 and there are about 12 or
    so under A1-something.  I was confused as someone said they though it was 
    suppose to have IOS in the name and there is a A1-IOS-LAN pak.
    
    I didn't think to search for ALLxxxx.  I don't use ALL-IN-1 but
    everytime I see someone using it they always active it by typing A1 so
    I just assumed that the pak would be A1xxx.  
    
    For future reference what is the difference between the ALLIN1 and A1-xxxx
    paks?  My involvement with this is that in spare time I assist the local 
    Ed Service organization system manager their 3800s. I usually don't 
    install or use most of these products.
    
    Thanks I got the pak called ALLIN1.  I'll install this and hopefully
    the person doing the installation will be able to complete it.
    
    	thanks

382.3A few PAK namesAERO::TALLETTJust one more fix, then we can ship...Wed Apr 01 1992 09:3321
    
    	The ones I know about are:
    
    	    ALLIN1		Capacity license for ANY one language
    	    ALLIN1-UI-DEUTSCH	Capacity license for a secondary language
    				(replace DEUTSCH with your favourite language)
    	    ALLIN1-PERSONAL	Personal user license for ANY one language
    				(Also for any secondary language in V2.4)
    	    ALLIN1-PUI-DEUTSCH	Personal user license for a secondary language
    				(New in V3.0, and will not be sold, thats life)
    
    	Unless my memory fails me, the code doesn't recognise any other
    	PAKs, but marketing seem to have a penchant for inventing wierd
    	and wonderful PAK names. How they get them to work I am not sure.
    
    	There will also be a Distributed Sharing Option (DSO) PAK to enable
    	remote access in the FileCab server, A1-DIST-SHR.

    Paul
382.4History?IOSG::PYEGraham - ALL-IN-1 Sorcerer's ApprenticeWed Apr 01 1992 18:1110
    I expect the ALLIN1 PAK name reflects the name of the DCL comand verb,
    which was invented before VMS would allow hyphens in verb and file
    names. It's hard to chnage the PAK name, since then the old ones don't
    work unless we check for several different ones. IOS is just tis week's
    name :-)
    
    What are some examples of the other A1* names? They might be layered
    ALL-IN-1 applications.

382.5LMF rulesAERO::TALLETTJust one more fix, then we can ship...Wed Apr 01 1992 18:5413
    
    	No, its simpler than that. There is a corporate naming standard
    	for PAKs which says you have to use hyphens to separate certain
    	things in PAK names. ALLIN1-PERSONAL is an example, so you can't
    	use ALL-IN-1 'cos it breaks the rules. It was planned that LMF
    	would do fancy things like adding the "-PERSONAL" bit for you
    	and things.
    
    	The rules have changed as to *WHAT* you actually use the hyphens
    	for, but they are still reserved...

382.6Loads and Loads of PAKsAIMTEC::WICKS_AVote Bill'n'Opus for a weirder USAWed Apr 01 1992 20:4721
    GAP/Paul,
    
    I just found someone who could get at the VTX PAK page and there are
    over 100 licences listed with either A1 or ALLIN1 in the title!
    
    This of course includes all the non ALL-IN-1 products that are just
    using the brand name such as the X.400 Mail Products, The Manager for
    LANs and WANs products, the DESKtop products, Personal Assistant,
    etc ... etc...
    
    For *REAL* ALL-IN-1 there's all the licenses for Language versions of
    ALL-IN-1 and a duplicate set for the Starter Product and even though I
    don't know why a licence for the BEV!
    
    No wonder people are confused... would it be a good idea to use
    one of the reserved notes in this conference to list them all?
    
    Regards,
