Hello,
One of our customers has reported a problem with the install procedure
in ALL-IN-1 V3.0.
During the installation he is asked for the location of the ALL-IN-1
LEXICON files with a default supplied of DISK$SYSTEM_DISK:. As it turns
out, this default answer is larger than the 15 character limit placed
on this field during the A1V30START.COM procedure. The startup parses
the A1CONFIG file looking for only 15 bytes. He feels that this should
be checked during the installation to prevent problems later on.
FYI....

Derek,
Interesting .... we reported this against the WPS-PLUS v4 Option Kit
installation and it was closed as fixed in DIAMOND.
I take it you have SPRd this?
regards,

This is a known problem - I'm sorry that we didn't think about checking
the possible length overflow. Unfortunately the A1CONFIG field length
is limited, since it used to actually contain the old style lexicon
name which was only ever short.
On looking into fixing this for a PFR, we discovered that we shouldn't
actually be defining this logical at all, a system wide LCI$startup
file should be be being created and invoked from the SYSTEM startup
file, so you could fix it in the way that we're intending to, which is
to remove the logical definition from A1V30START completely.
