| 627.1 | What I heard | AIMTEC::WICKS_A | The Mancs will NEVER win the lge | Tue May 05 1992 17:26 | 13 |
| Yariv,
ALL-IN-1 v3.0 ships with VAX NOTES v2.2 so that's ok and we have
VAX NOTES v2.2 on one of our v2.4 machines without any apparent difficulty
though I do remember hearing something about the DECWINDOWS or MOTIF
interface.
Not a lot of help I know but with it being DECUS this week I guess
all the experts are away.
Regards,
Andrew.D.Wicks

| 627.2 | Installation guide? | ESOA11::ORR | | Tue May 05 1992 19:15 | 7 |
| I just got a call from a customer who is preparing to install 3.0, and
yes indeed they did get NOTES v2.2, but they didn't get any type of
installation guide or instructions for it. Did they just not look
in the right place? I tried to find the NOTES v2.2 installation guide
on the network, but didn't have much luck there either. Shouldn't they
have received something about installing notes? What should I tell
them to do?

| 627.3 | Yes, you need Motif for V2.2 | IOSG::PYE | Graham - ALL-IN-1 Sorcerer's Apprentice | Tue May 05 1992 19:48 | 9 |
| It's a fact (as Andy recalled in .-2) that you have to have MOTIF
installed before you can install Notes V2.2. Because of this
requirement, the conference you are currently reading is still hosted
on V2.1, a fact I find occasionally annoying!
I thought that at least some of the notes books were in our kit, but
I'll let someone who understands NPFs answer that.

| 627.4 | Cue Nick for the answer | AIMTEC::WICKS_A | The Mancs will NEVER win the lge | Tue May 05 1992 20:03 | 12 |

I have the NPF but I don't understand it though I did get a v3.0
doc set which I unwrapped only to find that the Notes documentation
isn't in it - I got an Update doc kit but I still should have got
a Notes book as v2.4 of ALL-IN-1 came with an earlier version of notes.
Hopefully someone will be able to persuade the ultimate authority on
NPFs and docs Mr Creasy to enter the real answer to this (:==:)

| 627.5 | MOTIF IS A MUST ? | TAV02::SHAPIRA | | Wed May 06 1992 07:24 | 8 |
| Hi,
Thanks for your replies. As I understand, V2.4 works with NOTES V2.1. In
order to upgrade V2.4 to work with V2.2 the customer MUST install MOTIF.
Am I right ?

| 627.6 | MOTIF IA A MUST ? (2) | UTRTSC::BOSMAN | We're just sugar mice in the rain | Wed May 06 1992 08:01 | 4 |
| MOTIF a must? I run NOTES V2.2 on my ALL-IN-1 V2.4, VMS 5.4-3 without
DECwindows or MOTIF. It works.

| I know a little about NPFs. I don't suppose anyone would claim to
be an expert.
The VAX Notes installation guide is not included in ALL-IN-1 V3.0
update kits. There was no change in the guide between V2.1 and V2.2.
Presumably MOTIF is only required if you wish to use the DECwindows
interface to Notes (good for coffee breaks when reading long notes). I
suggest the VAXnotes conference for confirmation.

| Yes that's right. VAX Notes 2.2 can only be used if you install
Motif prior to upgrading. However, this is only applicable to
DECwindows interface. Character cell terminals will see no
difference. So if you use a VT220 etc, and want to upgrade - no
problem. If you use a workstation to read notes, you will need
to hang on until you install Motif.
Hope this helps.
