A.  Before You Run the SmartSuite Install Program

----------------------------
1.  Making Install Efficient
----------------------------

To maximize the efficiency of SmartSuite Install, you should run 
the DOS command CHKDSK /F on the drives on which you are planning 
to install SmartSuite.  Doing so will reclaim lost clusters on your 
hard drive(s).  Run CHKDSK with Windows not loaded, and before you 
run Install.  You do not have to convert the lost clusters to files.


----------------------------------
2.  Installing in a WIN-OS/2 Session
----------------------------------

If you are going to install SmartSuite in a WIN-OS/2 session, be sure 
to set the DPMI_MEMORY_LIMIT to at least 4 megabytes for the session 
so that SmartSuite Install does not run into any memory problems.

The following is one way to accomplish this for all WIN-OS/2 sessions:

1.  Click the WIN-OS/2 icon on the OS/2 desktop with the right mouse button 
    to display the menu.
2.  Click the arrow to the right of the Open menu choice.
3.  Click Settings.
4.  In the settings notebook for WIN-OS/2, click the Session tab.
5.  Click the WIN-OS/2 button.
6.  Click the DPMI_MEMORY_LIMIT setting on the left side of the dialog box.
7.  Change the corresponding value on the right side of the screen to be 
    at least 4 megabytes.
8.  Click the Save button.
9.  Double-click the upper left-hand corner of the notebook window to close it 
    and return to the OS/2 desktop.


---------------------------
3.  Using Automated Install
---------------------------

Automated Install is a feature that allows users to run the SmartSuite 
Install program without the user interface. This feature is particularly 
useful for system administrators who must manage installations and upgrades 
for large groups of users with uniform PC configurations.  System 
administrators use this feature by filling in the fields in a response file 
(INSTALL.RSP), and then making that file available to end users. The information 
supplied in the response file provides input to the SmartSuite Install program 
so that it can run without user intervention.

CAUTION: Only system administrators should edit the response file. 
Individual users should use the response file provided by their 
system administrator.
 
The following is a brief summary of the procedure for using Automated 
Install.  Read the comments in the response file for full instructions.

1) Prepare the Response File.
   a) Make a copy of the response file by doing the following:
      -At a DOS prompt, change to the directory where the response file 
       is located.
      -Type COPY INSTALL.RSP ORIGINAL.RSP and press ENTER.
   b) Fill in the information for each field in the response file.
   c) Test the response file thoroughly by running sample node 
      installations that will use this file as input. 

2) Make the Response File Available to End Users.
   When your response file has no errors and performs the installation 
   as you intended, make it available to your users with instructions 
   on how to run the Install program. To run Automated Install, choose 
   File - Run from the Windows Program Manager, and type the install command:

      <path>\install /A <ResponseFilePath> [/U [UserName]]

   For example: 
      X:\LOTUS\INSTALL /A X:\LOTUS\INSTALL.RSP 

(Read the documentation in the response file for a full description 
of the command line.)


B.  During SmartSuite Install

--------------------------------------------------------
4.  Installing on Computers With Multiple Configurations
--------------------------------------------------------

The SmartSuite Install program may offer to modify your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, 
by adding a line to load the SHARE utility and by updating the PATH 
statement in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file (it can also add Notes to the path, 
if you have Notes installed).  If Install offers to update the path, and 
you choose Yes, Install will modify only the first path statement it 
encounters.  If you use a release of DOS that supports multiple 
configurations, and your AUTOEXEC.BAT file contains multiple path 
statements for multiple start-up configurations, Install may not modify 
the correct path.  The same concern is true if you have a dual-boot setup.

After you install SmartSuite, examine the AUTOEXEC.BAT file to verify that 
Install modified the path for the configuration under which you will run 
the SmartSuite applications.


-------------------------
5.  Ignoring a Size Field
-------------------------

During SmartSuite Install, in the "Select SmartSuite Applications to 
Customize" dialog box, there is a list box that includes a size field.  
That field shows the default size of an application.  If you customize 
an application and delete features, the dialog box does not update the 
size field, even though the application now requires less disk space.


C.  After SmartSuite Install

-----------------------------------------------
6.  Reading Individual Application README Files
-----------------------------------------------

After you install SmartSuite, you can read the README files of the 
individual applications for more information.  The README files reside in 
each application's directory (for example, C:\LOTSUITE\123R5W\README.TXT).


------------------------------------
7.  Deleting an Extraneous Directory
------------------------------------

Under certain conditions, SmartSuite Install creates an empty directory 
called \LOTSHARE\SUITE.  You can delete that directory, as it is not 
needed by the SmartSuite applications.


-------------------------
8.  Updating SMARTCTR.INI
-------------------------

If you reinstall a Lotus application, but place it in a different location, 
the LOTUS.INI file is updated to reflect the change but the SMARTCTR.INI 
file is not updated.  The result is SmartCenter can no longer find the 
reinstalled application on its icon palette.

For example, if you had a copy of Ami Pro on the C: drive, and you then
reinstalled Ami Pro onto the D: drive, SmartCenter would not find Ami Pro.

To solve this problem, perform the following:

1. If SmartCenter was not running when you changed the location of the 
   application, start SmartCenter.  
2. Click the SmartCenter menu icon.  
3. Choose SmartCenter Properties.  
4. Select the application you want to change from the SmartCenter 
   applications list box, then click Change. 
5. Enter the new command line path and working directory for the 
   application, and make sure the Icon palette box is checked.
6. Click OK.
7. Close the SmartCenter Properties info box.


---------------------------------------------------------
9.  Using the SmartSuite Guided Tour and ScreenCam Movies
---------------------------------------------------------

The SmartSuite Guided Tour uses the MS Sans Serif font, which comes 
with Microsoft Windows.  In the unlikely event that you do not have the 
MS Sans Serif font loaded and you also do not have the Adobe Type Manager 
(ATM) running, you will receive a message telling you that you need to 
load the MS Sans Serif font.  If you do not have the MS Sans Serif font 
loaded but you do have the Adobe Type Manager (ATM) running, you will 
receive the message: "Invalid property value."  You can ignore the message, 
but you do need to load the MS Sans Serif font.

To load the font, perform the following:
1. Select File - Run from the Program Manager menu.
2. In the Command line field, type CONTROL, then click OK.
3. Choose Fonts.
4. Click Add.
5. Using the Directories and Drives boxes, select the location of your
   font directory.
6. Select the MS San Serif font from the List of Fonts list box, 
   then click OK.
7. Click Close, then close the Control Panel.

The SmartSuite Guided Tour files are in a SmartCenter subdirectory called 
[name]\TOUR, for example, \SMARTCTR\TOUR.  If you want to save disk space, 
you can delete the files from that subdirectory after you have watched the 
tour to your satisfaction.

NOTE:  Portions of the Guided Tour copyright Microsoft. 


------------------------------
10.  Creating Your Own Bitmaps
------------------------------

You can create your own bitmaps for the SmartCenter icon palette.  
SmartCenter will fit a bitmap of any size, and if you use a square bitmap, 
SmartCenter will not alter the aspect ratio.

The only restriction is that you should not add a 3D beveled edge to your 
bitmap, because SmartCenter automatically adds a 3D edge when it places 
your bitmap on the icon palette.
