Before you begin the installation procedure check the following: o You have enough space to install Uniplex Version 7.0. o You have all the media volumes of the Uniplex software and a key envelope for each module ordered. The BASE I and BASE II keys are not interchangeable. o If Informix is installed on the system, Uniplex BASE I will NOT install. Uniplex BASE II version must be ordered or Informix must be removed from the system after backing up all user files. 1.1 DISK SPACE REQUIREMENTS o Log-on as system administrator. o Use the following chart to verify the system has enough disk space to install Uniplex. ______________________________________________________________________________. | Typical Disk Space Requirements for Uniplex: | |. | | Module Installed size Main in-use growth in bytes | |_____________MB____________Blocks_____________________________________________| | Folios | | 260 per document | | BASE 11.75 23,500 150 per folder | | eg: 2,000 documents spread over | | 100 folders use about 0.5 MB | |______________________________________________________________________________ | Mail | | AOS 2.25 4,500 1 KB per message header | | eg: 1.2 MB on a system with 10 users| | each with 40-2,000 character | |. messages | |. | | Global Phone/Address Card Index | | 400 per record | | eg: 20 KB for 100 records | |______________________________________________________________________________ | AGS 2.0 4,000 NONE | |______________________________________________________________________________ |__TOTAL____16_MB__________34,000_________2 MB____for_examples_________________| SOFTWARE-UNIPLEX INTEGRATION SYS.-Integrated Office-FIB001 Pg002 NOTE: The third column indicates the main causes for growth in disk space used by Uniplex for its own system-wide databases, along with some indication of size. If you are installing the language dictionaries add-on module you need 33 MB to build all the files. After installation you will only need a fraction of this space to run the relevant dictionary. 1.2 MEMORY REQUIREMENTS Users primarily accessing word processing and electronic mail would require approximately 1/2 MB memory per user. Users doing extensive database queries would require 3/4 MB memory per user. 2.0 INSTALLATION 1. Move to the directory where you want to install Uniplex. Uniplex may be installed in any directory which has enough disk space. Example: cd /usr2 NOTE: Uniplex will be installed under the UAP directory which is created automatically under the specified directory from above. 2. Look at the label on your media. For example: __________________________________________________________________ | UNIPLEX BASE 1 BINARY PACKAGE vrs 7.0a | . | | . | UNIX System V/386 ABI Your UNIX | . | | . | tar xvf /dev/[DEVICE_NAME] | |__________________________________________________________________| . NOTE: The text shown on the label above varies from system to system. BASE 1 This is the media for the BASE product, rather BINARY than one of the optional modules. PACKAGE vrs 7.0a Uniplex release and version number UNIX System Machine name and OS level V/386 ABI Your UNIX Operating System release level tar xvf Normal command for loading Uniplex onto this machine 3. Put the tape in the tape drive and type in the load command: tar xvf /dev/tape (CR) The files from the tape will be restored onto your system. NOTE: DEVICE_NAME from the label example is replaced with the device name, '/dev/tape'. A '20' may be displayed on the label after the DEVICE_NAME but is not necessary when installing on the GPx 40. The Uniplex tapes may be installed on the system in any order. SOFTWARE-UNIPLEX INTEGRATION SYS.-Integrated Office-FIB001 Pg003 4. Repeat Step 3 for the Text File media and each of the Binary (BASE, AOS, and AGS) media. NOTE: During installation of any Uniplex tape, some messages may be displayed: tar: xxx/xxxxx/ - cannot create The name displayed ends in a slash. There is nothing wrong with the installation and all files are being restored. The message occurs when attempting to create a directory that already exists. 5. Now you are ready to enter the 'install' command. The command is different depending on whether you are installing or re-installing after a previously failed attempt at installation: For a new installation, enter: UAP/install (CR) If you have previously aborted an installation, or installation has failed at some point, enter: UAP/install again (CR) 6. To begin the installation program, press RETURN. To quit from the installation program, press * (asterisk) RETURN. The process which occurs at this point will take 5-10 minutes. During this process, the program checks various operating system utility programs to ensure they exist and are working properly. 7. Please wait, UNIPLEX is checking your system and utilities... UNIPLEX is unpacking any packed files... Uniplex displays the modules installed and the modules to be installed. Press RETURN to continue or *RETURN to stop. The process which occurs at this point will take 10-15 minutes. 2.1 INSTALLATION OPTIONS To access the Installation Options menu: o At the operating system prompt, invoke Uniplex by typing: uniplex The first time Uniplex is run, a message will appear at the bottom of the screen: "There is no UNIPLEX system description available for your terminal. UNIPLEX is creating a description of your terminal type (431x).." A copyright notice will then be displayed. o Before displaying the main menu, a notice appears: "WARNING: This version has no license file. Press to invoke restricted version of Uniplex or * to stop." Touch RETURN key to continue. o Uniplex displays the Main menu with a header, DEMONSTRATION SOFTWARE-UNIPLEX INTEGRATION SYS.-Integrated Office-FIB001 Pg004 VERSION, displayed. o Select 'A' for the Administration option from the Main menu. Uniplex now displays the Administration menu. o The menu displayed may have *more pages* noted at the bottom. Even though you do not see the option on the first page, Select 'I' for Installation Options. Uniplex displays the Installation Options menu. 2.2 GENERATE LICENSE KEY Generate a key for each of the Uniplex software modules you are installing. Each key is supplied in a license envelope, along with your Uniplex media. Each license code is in two parts: o The key number, printed on the outside of the license envelope, in the form: US7008AF9999999 o Two separate check digit numbers, printed inside the license envelope, in the form: 99999999 99999 To install the license key: o Select the Generate License Key option. o Uniplex displays the License Key Generation form. Complete as follows: a. Enter the user's proper company name. The company name typed. in will be displayed in the menu headers. b. Enter the key number for the BASE 1 or BASE 2 tape. c. Enter the first check digit number. d. Enter the second check digit number. e. Press RETURN o Uniplex displays the screen for the Advanced Office, Advanced Graphics System and the Uniplex WindowsTM. o Enter key numbers from the AOS envelope. NOTE: When installing the AOS key, the character following the 'A' is an O (alpha) not 0 (numeric). o Enter key numbers from the AGS envelope. o Uniplex Windows is not supported at this time so no key will be required. o ESCAPE E to end. Uniplex installation is now complete. Quit out of each Uniplex menu until you are at the Main menu. Use ESCAPE Q to get to the shell prompt. Use ctrl+d to logoff the system. See Section 3.0 for installing the MBF terminfo tape. NOTE: The title at the top of the menu will still display 'Demonstration Version' until user exits Uniplex completely and then logs back into it. If the menu still displays 'Demonstration Version' at that time, the BASE (I or II) key was not correctly installed. SOFTWARE-UNIPLEX INTEGRATION SYS.-Integrated Office-FIB001 Pg005 2.3 DATABASE LINKS With the Base II product, Uniplex provides hooks for the user to link alternative databases at the personal, system and network levels of your system with Uniplex. The available links are to: o Informix 2.0 and 2.1 o Oracle 5.x (6.0 link should be available in the near future) For information on how to link a database to Uniplex, see the INSTALLATION NOTES/RELEASE GUIDE, P0041, starting at page 36. 2.4 TROUBLESHOOTING o INSTALLATION ABORTED During the UAP/install program, the message 'Installation Aborted' displays on the screen. Fix: Check to see if Informix was already installed on the system. If so, Uniplex BASE II must be installed or Informix should be backed up before deleting it from the system. Uniplex should also be deleted and then reinstalled from scratch. The path name will depend on which directory Uniplex was installed in. To delete the directories before reinstalling Uniplex: rm -r /usr/UAP rm /usr/bin/uniplex rm -r /usr/informix 3.0 MBF TERMINAL SUPPORT In order to use MBF terminals with Uniplex, the terminal installation script, /usr/tps/uniplex/uapinstall, must be executed. NOTE: If you are updating the terminal definition files from a previously installed version, backup your current Uniplex and /usr/tps/uniplex directory before installing Patch 31. o Change your directory as follows: cd /usr/tps/uniplex If this directory does not exist, it should be created. o Load down Patch 31. After inserting the tape into the tape drive, type in: tar xvf /dev/tape o Execute the MBF terminal definition installation script: ./uapinstall o A check list screen will display detailing the script design. Read this to verify all script requirements are complete. SOFTWARE-UNIPLEX INTEGRATION SYS.-Integrated Office-FIB001 Pg006 to continue. If you need to abort this process for any reason, a 'q' or 'Q' and will stop the process at this point. o Another screen is displayed with an explanation of the script process and what occurs during its execution. to continue. o The installation script will display all processes, identified by a section number, which occur during the script execution. Execution time is approximately five minutes. A log file called /usr/tps/uniplex/MBFINSTALL.LOG created during execution records all processes as they occur. 3.1 NOTES . o The system variable TERM must be set correctly for Uniplex to work with an MBF terminal. This variable may be set in the user's .profile and/or the .cshrc. Uniplex will not verify your current terminal configuration. To see what the TERM variable is set for use one of the following at a command prompt: echo $TERM env o If using a PC with a color monitor emulating an MBF terminal through MAI PC/TERM, set the system variable TERM to PCTERM to have Uniplex display color. Use the following command to set the TERM variable: TERM=PCTERM; export TERM (for the Bourne shell) setenv TERM PCTERM (for the C shell) NOTE: Uniplex requires MAI PC/TERM 1.0A*17 or above. o If you are working with a monochrome monitor on a PC, use the 4313 or 4314 terminal definition. o Use one of the following commands to set the TERM variable: TERM=43nn; export TERM (for the Bourne shell) setenv TERM 43nn (for the C shell) NOTE: The 'nn' should be replaced by the last two numbers of the terminal type being used by that user. 4.0 EXECUTING UNIPLEX Installation is now complete. Uniplex can be executed from a shell prompt or a user logon may be created to access Uniplex directly. Use ctrl+d to logoff the system or go to the next section to create a user logon. 4.1 CREATING A LOGON ID FOR UNIPLEX Use the oprinfo utility to create Uniplex user logons. o Choose the option for adding a user. o You may create group or individual ID's depending on your SOFTWARE-UNIPLEX INTEGRATION SYS.-Integrated Office-FIB001 Pg007 Company's needs. In this example, an individual ID is created. 1. Login name: 2. User name: 3. Group name: 4. Home directory: /usr/username or /usr2/username 5. Login shell: 6. Program: /usr/bin/uniplex 7. Menu Permissions: 8. Additional groups: NOTE: Differences exist between the oprinfo utility on operating system 1.0B and 1.0C/D. The login shell for 1.0C/D will be /bin/sh instead of the /bin/execsh used in the 1.0B operating system. o If you are asked whether you want a .profile file created, answer yes at this prompt. o For more detailed information on setting up a user in the oprinfo utility, refer to the BOSS/VX REFERENCE MANUAL, M0188. o For more information on setting up a user for Uniplex, see the UNIPLEX II PLUS CONFIGURATION GUIDE, P0047. 5.0 PRINTER SUPPORT The printers documented in this section have been tested using the MBF spooler environment, unless documented otherwise, but may also be used with the UNIX spooler environment. Supported MBF printers for Uniplex: PT-4215 PT-4222 PT-4223 with HP Personality Module PT-4224 PT-4225/26 PT-4227/28 PT-4229 Standard version NOTE: Printer information will be revised or updated as more testing is completed or as information becomes available. 5.1 MBF SPOOLER CONFIGURATION In order to configure a device in the MBF configure utility, the system must be in single user mode. o From a shell prompt, enter: configure o Select the option to add or modify a device and enter the correct port number. See the suggested printer configuration for your printer type in Section 5.4 for the tested configuration setup. o Save the configuration and exit the configure utility. o Boot up into multi-user mode. 5.2 UNIX SPOOLER CONFIGURATION SOFTWARE-UNIPLEX INTEGRATION SYS.-Integrated Office-FIB001 Pg008 o Verify that a device file for the printer exists. ls -l /dev If the device file already exists, skip to the next step to start the UNIX spooler process. If the spooler process is already started, skip to Section 5.3 for the Uniplex printer setup instructions. If the device does not exist for the corresponding printer port, create the device file using the following command: mknod /dev/tty0nn c 31 mm Where nn represents the port number and mm represents the minor number. - Minor number is the same as the port number. - Major number 31 is for serial devices. - Serial printers are defined as a tty device. o Start the UNIX Print Services. Verify the UNIX spooler process, /usr/lib/lpsched, exists: ps -ef If the process does not exist, start the process: /usr/lib/lpsched A message, 'print services started', will display. o Define the printer name and port configuration. The port containing the printer should be the same as the port defined with the mknod command. /usr/lib/lpadmin -p -v A warning will display stating others can access the printer and unwanted output may result. o Define printer attributes. Only serial printers need to have attributes defined. The default printer attributes are as follows: SYMBOL MEANING ------------------------------------------------ 9600 9600 baud rate cs8 character size 8-bits -cstopb 1 stop bits -parenb no parity checking ixon enable XON/XOFF flow control -ixany allow only XON to restart output If any of these attributes need to be changed, the lpadmin command with the -o and stty option should be used. For example, to configure the printer for odd parity, type: /usr/lib/lpadmin -p -o "stty = 'parenb parodd'" SOFTWARE-UNIPLEX INTEGRATION SYS.-Integrated Office-FIB001 Pg009 The printer is now fully configured. o Enable the UNIX spooler and printer. Once the printer is configured in UNIX, the UNIX spooler must be told to accept print requests and the printer needs to be enabled to begin printing requests. The ability to control the enabling/disabling of both the spooler and printer means the printer can be disabled while still allowing print requests to be submitted to the spooler and the spooler can be emptied without allowing additional requests to be submitted. To enable the spooler to accept print requests, type the following: /usr/lib/accept To enable the printer to print requests, type the following: enable 5.3 CREATING A PRINTER IN UNIPLEX o Logon the system as a super user. o Go into Uniplex by typing 'uniplex' while in command mode. o From the main menu, choose the 'System Administration' option. o From the System Administration menu, choose the 'Printer Administration' option. o From the Printer Administration menu, choose the 'Create a New Print Screen Printer' option. o Screen to enter new printer information appears on the screen: _________________________________________________________________________ | PRINTER NAME: | | Pcap ENTRY: | | SPOOLER/DEVICE: | | AVAILABILITY: | | Use space bar to toggle the field choice.> | | DEFAULT FOR USERS: Press F1 or ESC e to enter. | |_________________________________________________________________________| After F1 or ESC e is pressed at the last option on the above screen,. a message will display: has been added to the printer database. User is then returned to the above screen at the 'PRINTER NAME' prompt. The F4 key can be used to quit from this screen or another printer can be setup. 5.3.1 USING THIS PRINTER WITH EASI-PRINT Easi-print from the F6 key or the menu option sends the document or mail message currently being worked on to the default printer. o Must be superuser in order to change the default printer. o Select option P - Printing. o Select option 4 - Set Printer Defaults. o Change printer default.

The directory or folder specified will depend on where Uniplex was installed. From the Uniplex main menu, go into Option 4 - Database Query. At the '1 ->' prompt, enter: use US.BLD A series of statements will scroll by on the screen and stop at around 490. When the '->' prompt is displayed, type in 'q' and carriage return to quit. The creation of the demo is now complete. Function Keys: SOFTWARE-UNIPLEX INTEGRATION SYS.-Integrated Office-FIB001 Pg022 o Using Uniplex and MAI OFFICE are used with the same terminal: Arrow keys will be cleared and not reset when going into and leaving MAI OFFICE. o The DT-4309 keyboard does not have a 'delete' key. For a destructive backspace use shift + F14. Spell Check: o When adding a word to the dictionary, a separate step must be performed in order to add that word to the supplementary dictionary. The addtodict file is used to add new words, or delete a word from your supplementary dictionary. See the ADMINISTRATION GUIDE, P0040, for further information. o Uniplex does not create the personal calendar files until the user logs into Uniplex, and accesses the Time Manager. o A word cannot be deleted from the language dictionaries. o Supplementary dictionaries can be local, system-wide or network wide. Time Manager: o Alarms are listed in order of entry. o Alarms cannot be batch deleted. o Calendars are from 1972 to 1992. o The user who creates a calendar owns it which means other users cannot access it. This is a Uniplex default. Use the Amend Calendar Permissions option to change access rights. o Creating an 'Alias List', F5-TO LIST, does not work. o User does not have a UDIARY file created until the user goes into Time Manager the first time. Report Writer: o After choosing a report to be run, you cannot quit from this option without running the chosen report. o Switching windows without waiting for prompts may cause terminal to hang. Wait for the next screen to appear before using function keys to view another screen. Do not touch any key on keyboard while screen displays a message for, 'OUTPUT IN CLIPBOARD' or the terminal will hang. o Numeric formatting cannot be done in LABELS section. Uniplex is aware of this problem but has not been able to resolve it. o Label names cannot include underscore or dot characters. o Field names cannot include the underscore character within the name since it is used as a restricted pad character following the field name. The correct syntax uses the filed name followed by underscore characters all enclosed in square brackets. See section 5 in the UNIPLEX ADVANCED OFFICE SYSTEM USER GUIDE for further details. SOFTWARE-UNIPLEX INTEGRATION SYS.-Integrated Office-FIB001 Pg023 o Using a mathematical function with only one record within a break, the sum will be zero. System Management: o A directory called init in /usr2/UAP/pc directory tracks current Uniplex users. During a system crash, this /usr2/UAP/pc directory is not cleared; therefore, the system will still show the previously logged on users as current users. Use the Uniplex Crash Recovery option, Clean the Uniplex Environment. You must be superuser to use this procedure. NOTE: Occasionally, the /usr2/UAP/pc directory is not cleared even when you do log out correctly. Check this directory for current users if the system will not allow the same number of users into Uniplex as your license specifies. NOTE: The /usr2 directory is only an example. The directory name is the directory where Uniplex was installed. o System defaults to two background tasks per user but can be changed by editing the uniplex.sys file so 'PROC=n' where n is equal to number of processes allowed per user. If the uniplex.sys file is modified, it must be compiled from the Uniplex shell using the syscomp -s command. o Directories (folders) can have usage rights set so only the owner and System Administrator can access them. A user could also be allowed to create documents in a directory but not have access to any others. o It is recommended the contents of the trashcan are cleared on a regular basis. In addition to deleting individual files and the contents of individual trashcans, Uniplex allows all files beyond a specified period of time to be deleted. Use the 'Delete Old Trash Files' option. to do this. Deleted mail messages are deposited in the trashcan and the Uniplex file system may be used to deposit documents in a trashcan. o Deleting a file actually moves it to a trashcan file in the system specified trash directory. It will remain there until system administrator empties the trash or, in the case of mail, the days specified have expired. A UNIX program could be written to clear this directory automatically. o The system clears the /tmp directory on reboot so if the user does not want this to happen, the /tmp/trash directory name should be changed to another name. For example, you could change the name to /usr2/UAP/trash to keep it within the Uniplex directory. The /tmp directory is where the 'auto-save' places document copies if the auto save has been activated. o Uniplex does not append extensions to files except in the case of database files where a .dbs is added. Each user may find it helpful to add file extensions to the file name to designate the type of file. For example: filename.ss for spreadsheet file. filename.wp for word processor file. filename.gr for graphics file. SOFTWARE-UNIPLEX INTEGRATION SYS.-Integrated Office-FIB001 Pg024 o The Uniplex system will not allow a user to log off until all tasks which were started by that user have been stopped. o To get to command mode from Uniplex menu, use ESCAPE ESCAPE $. Hit each key in single key sequence. The following displays: Uniplex $ A 'ctrl d' will return you to the Uniplex menu. NOTE: Do NOT reinvoke 'uniplex' from this point. You MUST 'ctrl-d' to return to Uniplex. o A UAP subdirectory under each users' home directory can be used to make individual changes. For example, the menu file, copied to a users' UAP subdirectory could be modified for that user. 7.0 UNIPLEX DOSTM Uniplex DOS is a scaled-down version of the Uniplex II Plus integrated office automation system that provides the following: o A fully functional Uniplex II Plus Word Processor o A fully functional Uniplex II Plus Spreadsheet o Card Index o Screen Builder The current version available is 6.1 which is compatible with the 7.0 UNIX version of Uniplex. 8.0 RELATED DOCUMENTATION One copy of the following documentation is provided with the Uniplex software: o Uniplex II Plus includes one 'Base Set' of manuals o AOS includes one AOS User Guide o AGS includes one AGS User Guide The following market codes are for additional documentation: Uniplex II Plus User Guide P0039 Administration Guide P0040 Installation Notes/Release Guide P0041 Quick Look-up Guide P0042 Base Set (one each of the above manuals) P0043 AOS User Guide P0044 AGS User Guide P0045 Complete Set (Base set plus AOS & AGS User Guides) P0046 Uniplex II Plus Configuration Guide P0047 ORIGINATOR: Elaine Titus SOFTWARE-UNIPLEX INTEGRATION SYS.-Integrated Office-FIB001 Pg025 FIB 00002 11/30/90 *** Business BASIC File Interface to Uniplex *** Type: Informational Purpose Currently, we do not have a way to interface Business BASIC files with Uniplex. The only file type Uniplex accepts is a straight ASCII or string file. Merging any other file type results in a 'Not a good document name! message.

Documentation Marketing Announcement 868 US/C ORIGINATOR: Elaine Titus SOFTWARE-UNIPLEX INTEGRATION SYS.-Integrated Office-FIB002 Pg001 FIB 00003 03/05/91 *** PT-4229 Bin Selection Fix *** FIELD BULLETIN SUBJECT: TPS - UNIPLEX AUTHOR: Elaine W. Titus PT-4229 BIN SELECTION TYPE: PROBLEM PURPOSE: This field bulletin provides a fix to provide bin selection when using the standard version of the PT-4229 with Uniplex. SYMPTOM: When using either the automatic bin select feature or the print commands for bin selection, the paper still feeds from a single bin. CAUSE: The cause depends on which Pcap was specified for the printer: o hp_jet+ : The bin select sequence specified is not recognized by the MAI PT-4229 printer. o MBF4229 : The bin select sequence was not included in the Pcap entry. SOULTION: Change the MBF4229 Pcap entry to include the proper bin selection sequence. MBF4229 PCAP - Bin Select Change: 1) Logon as super user. 2) cd to the Uniplex system directory: cd /usr/UAP 3) Make a copy of the Pcap file for possible recovery, if needed. 4) Edit Pcap with Uniplex word processor NOTE: DO NOT USE THE VI EDITOR!!!! 5) Search for the MBF4229 section. Not the line beginning with # because that is a remark line only! 6) Move down until the following lines are displayed: DFONT=NORMAL FONTINIT='GRAPHICS',..... 7) Insert the following lines between the DFONT line and the FONTINIT line: BIN=$-'&l4H',$-'&l1H' BIN1=$-'&l1H' BIN2=$-'&l4H' IMPORTANT: The above escape sequence for bin selection is: [dollar_sign] [dash] [single_quote] [ampersand] [lower_case_L] [numeric_one or four] [upper_case_H] [single_quote] SOFTWARE-UNIPLEX INTEGRATION SYS.-Integrated Office-FIB003 Pg001 8) Use F1 to Save and Exit the file. 9) Go into Uniplex console environment: ESC ESC $ 10) Execute 'uindex' on the Pcap file by typing the following at the Uniplex shell prompt: uindex Pcap This bin selection fix works whether you alter the style to use the automatic Uniplex bin selection by answering yes at the bin select prompt or when using the .SNBIN1 or .SNBIN2 print commands within the document itself. When using the .SN commands, only enter them when a change of bin is needed, not on every page. WARNING: Each time the document switches bins, an extra form feed is generated. This is being investigated for a possible fix. ORIGINATOR: Elaine Titus SOFTWARE-UNIPLEX INTEGRATION SYS.-Integrated Office-FIB003 Pg002 FIB 00004 04/25/91 *** DOS LOTUS to UNIPLEX conversion information [ WPSF 697 ] *** LOTUS TO UNIPLEX CONVERSION CHUCK ZIMMERMAN 4/91 CODE '9' TYPE: Informational PURPOSE: This Field Bulletin provides information on converting existing DOS Lotus spreadsheets to Uniplex spreadsheets on the GPx Series 40. In order to successfully convert the spreadsheets, both the PC and the GPx Series 40 must have a 3 1/2" diskette drive. In addition, the GPx Series 40 must have an operating system level of 1.0C*26 or greater. Use the steps below to convert the DOS Lotus spreadsheets to Uniplex (GPx) format. 1. Format the 3.5" diskette(s) on the PC. The syntax used to format the diskette(s) depends on the diskette drive in the PC and the type of diskettes used. The examples below assumes that the "A" drive is being used. FORMAT A: (High Dens. Drive/High Dens. Diskettes) FORMAT A: (Low Dens. Drive/Double Dens. Diskettes) FORMAT A:/T:80/N:9 (High Dens. Drive/Double Dens. Diskettes) 2. Change your working directory on the PC to where the spreadsheet data files are by using the "CD" command. The actual location of the files on the PC is dependant on where Lotus was installed. 3. Copy the spreadsheet files from the hard disk on the PC to the floppy diskette using the "COPY" command. The file names will be different depending upon the version of Lotus installed. Put a formatted diskette into the floppy drive of the PC and enter one of the commands below: COPY *.WKS A: (Lotus version 2.2 or greater) COPY *.WK1 A: (Lotus version 1.0) 4. After the files are copied to the diskette in Step 3, put the diskette into the floppy drive of the GPx Series 40 and enter the following command. NOTE: Change your working directory on the GPx to where you want the spreadsheets installed PRIOR to entering the command below. doscopy -r /dev/dsk/f03ht:*.* . (high density diskettes) doscopy -r /dev/dsk/f03dt:*.* . (double density diskettes) 5. The spreadsheet file names will be in lowercase characters on the hard disk after they are copied from the DOS floppy diskette. Run Uniplex and perform the following steps to convert the DOS spreadsheets to Uniplex format. A. Run Uniplex and select "2" for 'Spreadsheet' from the SOFTWARE-UNIPLEX INTEGRATION SYS.-Integrated Office-FIB004 Pg001 main menu. B. Select "1" for 'Create a Spreadsheet' from the spreadsheet menu. C. For each spreadsheet that was copied from the PC, repeat the following sequence of commands. 1. Enter "/" for the Uniplex spreadsheet command menu. 2. Select "F" for the File sub-menu. 3.

After entering the asterisk (*) to confirm the delete, the following message displays: 'OPERATION FAILED: CHECK DOCUMENT EXISTENCE OR PERMISSIONS' The Unix rm command allows the document file to be deleted. Cause: Before Uniplex deletes a file from the users' directory, it is copied to the /tmp/trash directory. By default, this directory is located under root. The /tmp directory is created with the sticky bit on during system startup. The permissions for the /tmp/trash directory display correctly as 'drwxrwxrwx' but the permissions for the /tmp directory are set as 'drwxrwxrwt'. Solution: Change the default setting for TEMP and TRASH within the uniplex.sys file. o Logon as root. o Execute uniplex command. o From the Uniplex Main Menu, select option 1 for the Word Processor. o From the Word Processor Menu, select option 2 to Edit a Document. o At document name prompt enter: .../UAP/uniplex.sys Use F1 to enter. o Use the F2 key to display the ring menu. o Enter 'S' for the Search function. o Enter 'S' again for Search. A 'Search and Replace' window displays. o At the first blank line where the cursor sets, enter TEMP= in upper case. DO NOT FORGET THE EQUAL SIGN!! o Use the F1 key to begin the search process. o The search should stop with following items displayed: TEMP='/tmp' TRASH='/tmp/trash' o Change both to read: TEMP='/usr/tmp' TRASH='/usr/tmp/trash' o Use F1 key to Save and Exit the file. o At the Word Processer Menu, do an ESC ESC $ to exit to the Uniplex shell. o If the /usr/tmp and /usr/tmp/trash directories do not exist, create them: mkdir /usr/tmp SOFTWARE-UNIPLEX INTEGRATION SYS.-Integrated Office-FIB006 Pg001 mkdir /usr/tmp/trash o Use the chmod command to change the usage rights to 777 for both directories. o At the uniplex shell command, compile the edited file using the syscomp -s command. You should see a display like: Uniplex # Beside the # sign, type in: syscomp -s o A message displays: Building system.comp o Then the Uniplex # display returns and you are done. o Log out of Uniplex completely and the log back on.

Please read this document. carefully before running the conversion. PROCEDURE: OPERATING SYSTEM RELEASE LEVELS ------------------------------- Patch 39 can be installed and used on a minimum operating system level of 1.0D on the GPx Series 40 and 1.0A on the GPx Series 70. These files are released with the TPS product in operating system level 1.1A for the GPx Series 70. In the future, these files will be released with the TPS product on the GPx Series 40 in operating system level 1.1B. The format of the conversion files will differ depending on where the product is found, patch tape or operating system tape in the TPS product. Installation instructions for both will be included in this document. CONVERSION PROGRAMS ON PATCH TAPE 39 ------------------------------------ The following conversion programs will be restored from the Patch 39 tape: /usr/tps/uniplex/GETNAMES /usr/tps/uniplex/GETNAMES_SP /usr/tps/uniplex/UNICON /usr/tps/uniplex/OFFUNI CONVERSION FILES AND INSTALLATION FROM TPS PRODUCT -------------------------------------------------- The following string files and installation script are included on the operating system tape with the TPS product: /usr/tps/uniplex/ getnames.str /usr/tps/uniplex/getnames_sp.str /usr/tps/uniplex/unicon.str /usr/tps/uniplex/offuni.str /usr/tps/uniplex/genpgms The four string files are converted to executable code by the install script, 'genpgms'. MAI OFFICE DATA FILES --------------------- The following MAI OFFICE data files are needed for the conversion: SOFTWARE-UNIPLEX INTEGRATION SYS.-Integrated Office-FIB008 Pg001 WPDL00 WPDM00 WPFM00 WPPS00 WPPS01 WPTF0* (where '*' is the text file code) MSSY01 These files are located in the directory where OFFICE was installed, usually "/usr/oms". Before running the conversion, a text file rebuild MUST be run an ALL text files (WPTF0*) and paragraph file (WPPS01) being converted to insure that documents and paragraphs are not corrupted. INSTALLATION PROCEDURE - PATCH 39 --------------------------------- o Log on as super user with all users' logged out of Uniplex, while installing Patch 39. o Change your directory as follows: cd /usr/tps/uniplex If this directory does not exist, it should be created. o Restore Patch 39. After inserting the tape into the tape drive, type in: tar xvf /dev/tape o Skip to conversion to continue. When restored from the Patch 39 tape, the files are in program format so the files DO NOT need to be generated as executable code. INSTALLATION PROCEDURE - TPS PRODUCT ------------------------------------ o Log in as 'root' if you have not already done so. Without 'root' privileges, the user will not be able to over-write files or access certain directories. o Change your directory as follows: cd /usr/tps/uniplex o From the shell prompt, enter: ./genpgms Executable code will be generated from the string files in the TPS directory. The files are now named as follows: /usr/tps/uniplex/GETNAMES /usr/tps/uniplex/GETNAMES_SP /usr/tps/uniplex/UNICON /usr/tps/uniplex/OFFUNI SOFTWARE-UNIPLEX INTEGRATION SYS.-Integrated Office-FIB008 Pg002 CONVERSION ---------- o From the shell prompt type: basic o From the basic prompt, type: start 256 prefix ",default> /usr/oms/usr/tps/uniplex" The /default' is the directory where the converted files will be placed. The '/usr/oms' is the pathname where OFFICE was installed or the path of the above OFFICE data files. o run "UNICON" SELECTING OPTIONS ----------------- Converting MAI Business WORD to Uniplex may be done using four separate methods: o Converting selected documents only. o Converting all documents in selected libraries. o Converting all documents in selected text files. o Converting all paragraphs in selected libraries. MAI Business WORD paragraphs are analogous to Uniplex glossaries. After choosing one of these options, the directory menu appears. SELECTING DIRECTORY ------------------- At the prompt: ENTER DIRECTORY TO PUT CONVERTED FILES: Enter the full path name of the directory where the converted files should be created. If the directory entered does not exist, one will be created. NOTE: This program can only create one directory level. For example, "/usr/work/new" where "new" is the subdirectory you want to create and "/usr/work" is the existing directory. If "/usr/work" does not already exist, you will get an error message. If no path name was entered, all converted documents and/or paragraph libraries will be created under the user's primary directory. After the directory has been entered, the user is prompted to input the items for the selected option. The maximum number of items is 30. For example: 1) If 'selected documents' are being converted, 30 document names can be entered. 2) If 'selected libraries' are being converted, 30 library names can be entered. 3) If 'selected text files' are being converted, 30 text files can be entered SOFTWARE-UNIPLEX INTEGRATION SYS.-Integrated Office-FIB008 Pg003 When finished entering the above names, hit to start the conversion. During this process, hit to abort and return to the main menu. LOGFILE ------- The 'LOGFILE' is a string file which logs all the converted files including the full path name for all the converted files and the date when the 'LOGFILE' was created. A new 'LOGFILE' is created under the current directory each time 'UNICON' is executed. If.documents being converted contain characters not allowed by Uniplex, a second logfile named LOGFILE.RNM will be created to map the old document name to the new file name. CONVERSION NOTES ---------------- This section describes how various attributes and document characteristics will be handled when converting documents from MAI Business WORD to Uniplex. MAI Business WORD documents which are converted to Uniplex will need further modification after the conversion program has been run because of differences between WORD and Uniplex. FILE NAMES FOR DOCUMENTS AND PARAGRAPH LIBRARIES ------------------------------------------------ Uniplex only allows file name characters from the following list: % # . = + - _ , 0..9 a..z A..Z When converting MAI Business WORD documents to Uniplex, any character not included in this list will be converted to an underscore character. The new file name.will the MAI Business WORD document name with the underscores replacing the invalid characters and '.RNM' with a counter number appended. Example: MAI WORD Uniplex Document Name File Name doc?& doc_.RNM1 doc<>() doc____.RNM2 SECURITY AND OWNERSHIP OF FILES ------------------------------- Security on created documents will depend on the Access Restriction and Modify Restriction combination of the documents in MAI Business WORD. The combinations are as follows: ACCESS RESTRICTION MODIFY RESTRICTION NEW SECURITY ------------------ ------------------ ------------ Personal Personal -rw------- Personal None -rw-rw-rw- None None -rw-r--r-- None Personal -rw-r--r-- SOFTWARE-UNIPLEX INTEGRATION SYS.-Integrated Office-FIB008 Pg004 If the owner of the document does not exist on the system in upper case, lower case will be used. If a lower case id does not exist, the current login id will be the owner of the file. PARAGRAPH LIBRARIES ------------------- All paragraphs in the same library are converted to the same file, with the library as the name of the file. Each paragraph is in the same format as a Uniplex glossary; therefore, '#paragraph_name' and '))' are added to the beginning and end of each paragraph. Security on these files is '-rw-rw-rw-' and the owner is the current login id. DOCUMENTS --------- Each document in MAI Business WORD will be converted to Uniplex as a single string file. The security and owner of each file is explained under SECURITY AND OWNERSHIP OF FILES section. PAGE LENGTH ----------- Page length is written once at the top of the file. Page length is determined by searching for the number of lines per page in the 'SECURITY PARAMETERS' section of the document in MAI Business WORD. If the page length was not specified, the page length of the FORM specified in the 'PRINT PARAMETERS' section will be used instead. If the FORM is not found, the page length defaults to 66 lines per page. The standard page length for Uniplex documents is 59 lines per page so all converted.documents may need to have the page length modified in order to print correctly. HEADER/FOOTER ------------- Because of the header/footer structure in MAI Business WORD, header/footer names are always searched for first under the odd or even. If not found, the search will continue with standard. If a header/footer for odd or even pages has the same name as the header/footer of standard pages, the standard header/footer is never used. RULER ----- Each time a different ruler is encountered, it is written to the file, with correct tab positioning. PRINT TIME COMMANDS ------------------- o Prompts and comments -------------------- Prompts and Comments in MAI Business WORD documents are converted as Remarks in Uniplex. Any attributes on these lines will not be converted. SOFTWARE-UNIPLEX INTEGRATION SYS.-Integrated Office-FIB008 Pg005 o BOXES ----- Any commands, text, or attributes on the box lines are not converted. Only the box commands are converted. The box starts on the line where the command is found and ends at 'n+2' lines down, where 'n' is the vertical lines. Box drawing has the highest priority over any other attributes and print time commands. Example: OFFICE'S PAGE UNIPLEX'S PAGE ________________ ________________ line 1 |,B 3,1,10 | line 1 line 2 | _____ | line 2 | ^ | line 3 line 4 | |1 | | line 3 | | | line 5 | |2 | | . | | | . | |3 | | . | | | . | |_____| | . | | . | | | | . | | | 'n' | | | |________________| |________________| This example shows that if n is 3, it takes 5(n+2) lines to draw the box. So, any text on line 5 positioned within the range of where the bottom of the box is to be drawn will be over-written. Therefore, make sure this line is blank in your MAI Business WORD documents wherever a box command is specified. o Print Time Commands Which Are Replaced By Blanks ------------------------------------------------ The following print time commands will be replaced by blanks during the conversion because Uniplex does not have a corresponding command. [PAON] Turns Adjust ON [PAOFF] Turns Adjust OFF [PALT] Alternate Character Set [PCCR] Alternate Ribbon Color [PSAV] To Save Changes [PRES] To Restore Old Parameters [PWON] Turns Wrap ON [PWOF] Turns Wrap OFF [P010] to [P132] Line Width o Print Time Commands Which Are Converted As Text ----------------------------------------------- These print time commands are converted as text so the user can easily locate and modify them in the converted documents. [PF01] to [PF99] Line Find [PNPx] Turns on non-print character [PNP] Turns off non-print character [PNEW] Page Eject o Auto Hyphens ------------ Any auto hyphens inserted in MAI Business WORD documents will be deleted during conversion to Uniplex. SOFTWARE-UNIPLEX INTEGRATION SYS.-Integrated Office-FIB008 Pg006 o Auto underscore --------------- [P_] Underscores line except spaces and punctuation. [P_A] Underscores line including spaces and punctuation. [P_N] Underscores only numerals. [P_P] Underscores line except spaces. [P_T] Underscores line except for spaces, punctuation, and special characters. If the current attribute of the line is bold or doublestrike (shadow print), it is converted to bold and underline. Otherwise, it is converted to underline only. o Expanded print -------------- [PEXP] Converted to Uniplex as '.FN LARGE'. o Justify ------- [PJON] Justify on, converted to Uniplex as '.JY'. [PJOF] Justify off, converted to Uniplex as '.JN'. o Compress Print -------------- [PCMP] Converted to Uniplex as '.FN SMALL'. o Line Spacing ------------ Line spacing in MAI Business WORD is converted to UNIPLEX as given in the following table: OFFICE UNIPLEX ------ ------- [PL05] .SP 0.50 [PL10] .SP 1.00 [PL15] .SP 1.50 [PL20] .SP 2.00 [PL25] .SP 2.50 [PL30] .SP 3.00 o Pitch Change ------------ Pitch change is converted to Uniplex as '.PT ##', where '##' is the pitch number specified with the MAI Business WORD pitch change command. Not all pitches available with MAI Business WORD can be printed in Uniplex. The most common pitches used by Uniplex are 5,10, and 17 pitches. User must manually change the pitch to ".FN LARGE" or ".FN SMALL" to get to get 5 or 17 cpi, respectively. Pitches available depend on what is available with the printer being used. A postscript type printer has the widest range. o Page Numbering -------------- SOFTWARE-UNIPLEX INTEGRATION SYS.-Integrated Office-FIB008 Pg007 Page numbering can only be set in a header or footer of a Uniplex document. Page numbering commands cannot be used outside of the header/footer sections. However, in MAI Business WORD, the page numbering command can be anywhere. Therefore, during the conversion, any page numbering commands outside the header/footer sections are ignored and replaced by spaces. Only the commands, [P:S] or [P#], within the header/footer area of MAI Business WORD will be converted to Uniplex as '#'. The '#' sign in the header/footer of Uniplex is understood as a page numbering command. o Paragraph/Section Numbering --------------------------- Paragraph section numbering, [P%], is converted to Uniplex as '##'. MAI Business WORD starts printing paragraph section numbers from the right bracket. However, Uniplex starts printing the numbering from the left pound sign. Therefore, the user must do some editing, either before or after conversion, to get the desired result. o Vertical Spacing ---------------- Vertical spacings are converted as given in the table below: OFFICE UNIPLEX ------ ------- [PV03] .SP 2.00 [PV04] .SP 1.50 [PV05] .SP 1.20 [PV06] .SP 1.00 [PV07] .SP 0.86 [PV08] .SP 0.75 [PV10] .SP 0.60 [PV12] .SP 0.50 [PV16] .SP 0.38 [PV24] .SP 0.25 [PV48] .SP 0.13 If the vertical spacing is not on the list, the default is 6 LPI. o Shadow Print ------------ If the current attribute is underline, it is converted to 'bold and underline'. Any other attributes are replaced by the doublestrike. o Bold Print ---------- If the current attribute is underline, it is converted to 'bold and underline'. Any other attributes are replaced by bold. o Required Space Character ------------------------ [PRSx] Required space character ON where 'x' is the non-print character. [PRS] Required space character OFF. The required space character is specified in the 'PRINT PARAMETER MAINTENANCE' section for the document. If none was entered, the required space character is null. Each time the [PRSx] command is used, the required space character is SOFTWARE-UNIPLEX INTEGRATION SYS.-Integrated Office-FIB008 Pg008 updated to this character. When the [PRS] command is used, the required space character becomes null. As long as the command is on, all occurrences of this character are replaced by hard spaces. o Left Margin ----------- When a left margin command, [PM01] to [PM99], is found, all text will be offset in the document, for the specified number of spaces. If this command is specified between the range of the box, the box will be affected also. To avoid this problem, place the left margin command outside the range of the box. o Over Print (Back Slash Command) ------------------------------- If underscores are found on this line, they are converted to Uniplex as underlines on the previous line. Any other characters must be an exact match for the characters on the previous line. If a mismatch is found, the 'overprint' line is written to the converted file as normal text. This allows the user to see the over print line in the new document and modify as needed. o Center ------ Centering is done after all print time commands and attributes have been added to the text line. The text is then centered inside the converted document. The box command is not affected by this command. o Attributes On Text Line ----------------------- UNIPLEX does not have print effects such as: underline and subscript underline and superscript bold and subscript bold and superscript bold, underline, and subscript bold, underline, and superscript Therefore, subscript/superscript have the higher priority over any other attributes or combination of attributes, except for the box command which has the highest priority.
