3375.0. "Is this a viable product mix?" by GANTRY::HULL (Digital Consulting [Delivery]/Motown) Fri Oct 08 1993 15:33

One of my customers has A1 V3.0-1, with EARS V2.2 and Lotus 1-2-3 for 
ALL-IN-1 integrated.  They are also interested in running integrated 
WordPerfect under ALL-IN-1.

Are there any conflicts with their existing system if they add the WP kit?
I know from past experience that the WP kit used to be a real headache with 
the SMBSRVSHR logical redefinition, and you had to relink, etc.  Has any of 
this improved since 2 yrs ago or so?  Are any menus like EM, etc, that EARS 
touches, also touched by WP?

P.S.  VMS there is at 5.5-2

    Al,
    
    Does it all work - well sort of - will it all work when you upgrade
    this system to have the patch whose name we cannot speak on it
    I cannot say (:==:).
    
    Lotus and WordPerfect happily coexist on the same system we have them
    on a machine here.
    
    EARS and Lotus are ok as long as you check the changes to form DEFAULT
    and SM$MAIN2
    
    The SMBSRVSHR beast still exists so you have to watch out for that.
    
    So go for it - if it goes wrong - call in anytime day or night when i'm
    not here.
    
    Regards,
