| 4756.1 | probably looking in WP first | SAUTER::SAUTER | John Sauter | Tue May 21 1991 16:24 | 5 |
| I've never installed WordPerfect, but my guess is that the program is
looking for some information on WP first, and if it can't find it there
it looks in the current directory. To avoid the requestors, modify
your startup file to define WP to point to DH1.

| 4756.2 | You Need to ASSIGN WP: | RIPPLE::LUKE_TE | | Tue May 21 1991 18:31 | 7 |
| You have to ASSIGN WP: disk:path/ so that it looks for Word Perfect on
the hard disk. Just from recollection, there is another assign that
has to be done as well for the printer. It's best to put these in your
startup-sequence.

| 4756.3 | Look in s: for the command file | LODGE::LEN | David M. Len | Wed May 22 1991 14:23 | 10 |
| As I remember the installation procedure, it actually creats a command
file that correctly ASSIGN's the required logicals for WP. By default
the file is placed in s: (sorry I don't remember the name). But if you
EXECUTE this file from your startup-sequence it will set things up
correctly. Remember do NOT have the WP floppies loaded when you run it
from the hard drive, because the floppy names are taken over ASSIGNed
logical names.
I myself did not use this file, I put the ASSIGNs directly into one of
my startup command files. I believe Pro Page does the same thing.

| 4756.4 | Still trying, but monitor died. | ANGLIN::GAINES | | Mon Jun 03 1991 23:48 | 10 |
| I've tried many assign combinations, just can't seem to get it to
work... I've lookes at the startup-sequence on the floppy and tried
substituting using dh1/. Now my monitor is on the flip side, I
will get it repaired this week and try again.
Meanwhile if someone could look up all the appropiate assignments, I'll
need to get this going on my harddisk I would appreciate it. I'm sure
I'll get there...

| 4756.5 | Assign WP: DH1:WP | BOMBE::MOORE | Amiga: Where 'multimedia' REALLY began | Tue Jun 04 1991 01:54 | 9 |
| Did you use the HD installation procedure provided with the product?
The assignments in my startup procedure are:
Assign WP: DH0:WP
Assign Print: DH0:Print
These are the two directories where the WordPerfect components were
placed by their installation procedure.

| 4756.6 | Finally got it done. | ANGLIN::GAINES | | Sun Jun 23 1991 01:16 | 8 |

I found my problem with the install. Simply had to perform
the install to DH0. I don't know why it did not like DH1...
Anyhow all is well here now, my 1084 monitor I managed to
repair at home. Had a cold solder joint on one of the
flyback transformer pins.
