| 2.
Remote sharing (Distributed Sharing Option) will not be available at FCS, it
should be available 3 to 6 months later, at extra cost.
When it is installed (just an extra license) then for a user to access a
remote drawer they will require a proxy on the VMS system that the drawer
resides on, unless the drawer has been given world access in which case no
user specific proxy is required (it uses OAFC$DEFAULT which is automatically
set up on installation of V3.0).
Whatever access is granted locally to the proxy account determins the access
that will be granted to the remote user.
The remote user does not require a local ALL-IN-1 account.
You can cut down the overhead by giving access to groups of users (if that
is suitable in your environment) and then you only need one proxy per group.
I don't understand the comment about some sites having VMS only? In order for
a drawer to exist on a system ALL-IN-1 must be installed on that system, and
in order to access a drawer from a system a client (such as ALL-IN-1 IOS on
VMS systems) must be installed.
3.
Multiple drawers will use more disk space than a single drawer containing the
same documents, although not a lot more. A document will take up the same
amount of disk space no matter what drawer it is in, however each drawer will
have an overhead so if you have 10 documents in 1 drawer you will require less
disk space than the same 10 documents in 10 drawers.
Where you could use up extra space is if a user refiles a mail message to
another drawer the resulting document is a private document that is a copy
of the original. If a mail is sent to 9 local recipiants then there will be
1 copy referenced by 10 users (including the sender). If they all refile the
document to another drawer the original document in the mail area will be
deleted (no-one references it any more) and there will be 10 copies, each
one referenced by 1 user.

>5. Will WPS-PLUS 4.1 in the A1 V3 release retain the PL and PG settings?
> The customer was told that all the users setting were reset to default
> on the previous upgrade of WPS-PLUS?
Yes. The PL and PG settings which are stored in the WPS-PLUS document .WPL
file for each document are not reset. I'm not aware that they were lost on
previous upgrades. Which settings do you mean by 'users setting'?
The only WPS-PLUS settings that will neeed to be reset are the abbreviation
and library documents, which are user settings and not document settings.
>6. Will WPS-PLUS 4.1 run on a ALL-IN-1 V2.4 system?
No, and there are no plans to provide this.
>7. How many lines will the TDE have?
TDE pictures can be of any length. The TDE editor allows you to edit a set
of lines 2 less than the number of lines on the terminal, e.g. 22 lines on
a 24 line VT220, or 52 lines in a 54 line DECterm window.
>8. If the file is formatted to postscript, will the postscript version
be viewable on the terminal?
No, WPS-PLUS V4.1 does not have a pre-viewer, but I understand this is high
on the list of possible enhancments in a possible future release, which is
all I'm allowed to say in this conference.

| 501.4 | Login mail check in V3.0? | GANTRY::HULL | Digital Services Delivery - Motown | Thu Apr 16 1992 13:43 | 12 |
| Another simple V3.0 question:
Does V3.0 offer the functionality of the CHECKMAIL ASSETS kit (VMS & A1
names do not match, but login mail check still works) as an out-of-the-box
feature?
Just wondering because I just convinced my customer to rename all their
user accounts from ibm-ish names like AH0228 to real human names. Now
MAILCOUNT is useless. I'm gonna install CHECKMAIL V2.2, but if its only a
short-term need until V3, that'll affect what we charge them.

| Without ever having run CHECKMAIL my understanding is that both will
report the mail count for users where VMS and A1 names differ, but
CHECKMAIL will report it for a given A1 name and V3 will report the
count for all A1 users with the user's VMS name. If there is a one-to-one
correspondence then there is no real difference.

| RE: .6
Andrew,
In note 484, there is more discussion on this. Are you saying that it
is still a problem beyond what is discussed there. We have a state
government and university system that believes this could be a stopper.

| Ben,
How do I even go about expanding on the answer in .6??
I can only suggest you try TM on BL123A as I believe it would not be
too controversial to say that there are still some opportunites with
long addressing in TM.
Hopefully Dave Z will explain what he knows about this topic?

| All of the length restrictions in TM have been lifted, as far as I
know. There are still some problems with addressing, mixed case
addresses and reading replies. There have been a few recent notes
discussing these.

| 501.10 | A knock off against us | WAYLND::HOWARD | Ben. It should do what people expect it to do | Wed Apr 22 1992 16:27 | 18 |
| Ok. I believe that they schedule with Profs and Internet users. The
upper- and lower-case problems sound fixable from 484, but obviously
are important with Internet.
I did try it and it appeared to work ok. The customer has a way of
finding the one thing that is still broken. Betty is going to ask for
a more complete explanation of what they are looking to get fixed.
The one advantage Profs has had over ALL-IN-1 is its ability to scan
calendars and automatically schedule a meeting (sort of like ALL-IN-1
V1). By not fixing this bug earlier, we have lost a lot of credibility
and probably a lot of sales. Whenever a customer asks about that, I
know that they have been primed by their IBM rep. I guess we need to
make these points clearer to product marketing so that fixes like this
get made more quickly.
Thanks for the help so far.

Hi Ben,
A team here in Charlotte created a customization to schedule a
meeting based on the results of a free time scan, as part of a customer
project last year. It scans the list of users for a common first free
time (based on a duration the user selects), and then prompts the user
to schedule the meeting. We didn't make it fully automatic, because
some people might not like Monday from 12-1pm, or Friday from 3-5pm.
Additionally, the scan will select one from a list of resources which
is available for the meeting.
It may take some work to upgrade it to V3.0, but I'm sure we can work
something out your customers need it. Talk to Barb (SHALOT::) Peacock.
Cheers, Dan'l
