Hi,
I have a customer who is running ALL-IN-1 V2.3. He is supposed to be
usinge the British Lexicon dictionary, but all he has at the moment is
the American Lexicon. He wants the British. Previous to this version
of ALL-IN-1, I was able to take the appropriate file(s) from the
British Lexicon kit and install that dictionary on their system. When
they upgraded to V2.3, they lost it.
He has contacted several people and has been getting the "royal
run around". He has requested that I inquire to find out:
1. How can he get the British Lexicon Dictionary for ALL-IN-1 V2.3?
2. Is it just a matter of installing a "new" PAK? (It seems there must
be more to it than this, they don't have a British Lexicon kit which
they were supposed to get.)
Thanks for any and all help.
Don I.

| 570.1 | Ask in the spell check conference (sorry for more runaround!) | IOSG::PYE | Graham - ALL-IN-1 Sorcerer's Apprentice | Mon Apr 27 1992 10:51 | 13 |
I've speculated about the answer to this in the previous version of the
conference. I know that in theory a customer can order an additional
lexicon kit (But since I'm in Engineering and we don't actually know
what a customer is :-) ) I've never actually seen the kit.
You might try asking in the linguistics / spell checking conferences
pointed to in Note 4.* and see if they can give you a definitive
answer.
It's certainly possible, since we used to do it with V2.3 and V2.4
before we upgraded to V3.0.

| 570.2 | This is what I did | WAYLND::HOWARD | Ben. It should do what people expect it to do | Tue Apr 28 1992 18:20 | 16 |
The British Lexicon used to be on CD, at least in the US. We had a
customer here in Washington with a similar problem. I just installed
the kit and all worked well, but I don't remember if we needed a PAK;
my recollection is that we didn't need one. But you definitely need to
install the kit, then change all the users to the British lexicon. The
two American and British lexicons coexist quite happily. I tested it
out on my system before I went out there.
I guess if you could find someone who saves old CD's in his desk
drawer, particularly Consolidated Distribution Sept. 1990, you could
install from that. You really are not supposed to use CD's this way,
but the right thing may be to do it in this case, if you can determine
that they are licensed for the product. The correct procedure would be
to order the H kit. The product code on CD is VI7E.

I cannot order it because I would get the wrong version, wouldn't I? I have looked, and I think the correct product number I am after is QL-AAAE9-**. Is this right? If not, does anybody know what it is? Thanks for all your help. /Don I. | |||||
