I'm not sure what responses you're getting, but I'll relate our
experience here at So. Dak. State U. We run WP5.1 on NetWare 3.11.
We also use a package called SITELOCK to track the number of copies
in use at any one time. Since you have 20 copies, you can have 20
copies in use on the network. However, you need to delete all 20
copies from the hard-drives of the pc's (least that's what WPCorp
told us). We created a WP5.1 group in Novell, also, so we know
who has rights to use WP. We haven't had any major usage problems.
I do have people copy .PRS files into their home directories so that
can create their own forms, add additional printers, etc. (Instead
of using NWPSETUP, and wiping out other people's defaults). Appendix
R in the WP5.1 manual talks about Network Administration. It's a pretty
good reference.

Hope this helps a little.

We have had these errors before (not with WordPerfect, necessarily), and it
turned out to be bad memory chips.  "Onboard" in the error message
indicates this (this is info we got when we called the vendor tech support).
We got the errors on a brand new 386 system; never could pinpoint the chip(s)
in error, so the vendor first replaced the mother board, then the entire
system when the errors reoccurred.  The new system seems okay.

If your system is still under warranty, get in touch with the tech support
folks & see what they recommend.

One of my colleagues is having the following problem.  Any assistance would
be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
=============================================================================
I have checked the problem with WP 5.1 off Windows and being simultaneously
logged on the IBM 3090, and this is the sequence of what happens:

1.  From Windows go into WP5.1 (DOS)
2.  Use <alt> <enter> to reduce the WP screen
3.  Open Program Manager and log on the IBM through QVTNet
4.  I can toggle back and forth between IBM and WP and reduce WP window or
    have it full screen. All is fine, until ...
5.  Log off the IBM and come back to WP screen
6.  Then several things happen":

    a.  The WordPerfect bar at the top changes to either:
        1)  Select Scroll WordPerfect 5.1   or
        2)  Select WordPerfect 5.1

    b.  Cannot get WordPerfect back to full screen
    c.  Any attempt to do anything with WordPerfect brings out a box with a
        warning -

           !  Cancel your selection or scroll
              command before switching modes

7.  Trouble is, at this point, you cannot do a thing EXCEPT reboot the machine.
8.  It makes no difference whether you go into WP first or log on the IBM
    first, as soon as you log off the IBM after this sequence, the machine is
    hung.

A commercial product that will do this is ScreenExtender, Version 2.0.  It
lets you set your line length to up to 128 characters (depending on your
video adapter), and the number of lines per screen to up to 60 (!).  It won't
give you a non-blinking block cursor, but it can give you an easy-to-spot
flashing block cursor.  It also lets you see italicized, boldfaced,
underlined, small, large (etc.) characters in the standard WP editing screen.

I've seen it running on EGA and VGA screens, and it can be a godsend for
people who use fonts like Times Roman 10, which gives well over 100 chacters
per line.

It's from Stairway Software, Inc., 700 Harris St., Suite 204, Charlotesville,
VA 22901.  You can get it directly from them, or for about $50-$60 from a
number of mail order houses.

My only connection with Stairway Software is admiration for a fine product.

Hope this information is useful.

The year round school system called Concept 6 Alan Davis refers to acutally
had 3 different tracks - - A,B or C. All teachers, psychologists, social
workers, educational disgnosticians, reading specialists and counselors
were assigned to a track.  I was on B track.  It was an accomodating schedule
if I wanted to vacation in Europe when the rates are typically lower (Sept/
Oct, March/April) but not condusive to attending summer sessions at
universities.  Those professionals who wanted to advance on the salary
schedule, pursue an advanced degree or simply update their knowledge had to
be on C track to do so. The reading specialists also found that since
everyone was never on the campus at the same time, many of the faculty did
not know each other or have any idea what programs existed in their own
buildings.  It would be interesting to take a longitudinal look at the
affects of year round schools on the professional growth of its employees,
on innovations like team teaching and interdisciplinary instruction and on
the district's economy.

Lots of people in West Virginia schools, as well in other areas where I
have nieces and nephews in the schools, seem to be all gung-ho about
year-round school.  However, no one has been able to explain what
benefits this gives 1) the students, 2) the teachers, 3) the
administration, 4) the parents and 5) the community.  (Did I get all the
key groups in there?)  In several places where this is being considered,
the superintendants and others pushing for the program are EXTREMELY
vague when pressed for details about how the schedule actually works,
what the costs in volved are, and the pros and cons of the plans, and
none have been able to give even one benefit other than "well, its
something new to try".  I assume that somebody had a reason for this
idea in the first place, so could someone explain it to me.  Thanks -

Subject:      Re: Please explain year-round school benefits

Hi Susan--I assume from the subject line that you want some info on year-round
schooling (the body of your letter was missing).  I have a copy of a brief that
Gene did which basically indicates very little benefit.  I have some stuff
from Phoenix Union High School that thinks it's glorious.  You are welcome to
both.  I think the primary reason for year-round schedules that can be
documented as a benefit deals with releaving overcrowded facilities.  For
instance, LA was able to postpone building new facilities and still releave
overcrowding. San Diego did the same.  I think Albequrque (spelling) did too.
Phoenix is trying to tie it to issues of retention and reduction of gang
related activities, but I think concrete evidence that it affects these issues
is sketchy at best.  Let me know what else you need and I'll try to dig up
some more stuff and get it to you.  If you want the stuff from Gene and PUHS
let me know how to get it to you.  How's your studying going??  See ya--Mimi

I am a new subscriber to this network and have not been working at the public
school level, but I am a teaching fellow at the University of Pittsburgh in
Social Foundations of Education, and am constantly struck by the lack of vision
for new or different formats in schools.  Our students are still approximately
half first generation college attenders and want to be told what to do.  We are
working on this by using small project groups and email (I am learning too).
Now I am wondering why high schools can't adopt some of these electronic
mechanism, and is it possible for students to choose classes as they do in
college, so that you have freshpersons with seniors, etc.?  Then perhaps year
round schooling would offer opportunities for students to finish earlier, or to
organize schedules around jobs, or other needs.  This process is new to me and
I look forward to discussion.
Thank you Diana Brandi

    Year-round schools were tried in the 60's and 70's where rapid growth
made them attractive alternatives to building schools. They were difficult to
run to the satisfactioin of parents and teachers and were largely abandoned when
enrollment pressures subsided. They are now being touted in progressive
communities on the grounds of superior learning benefits (less forgetting,
less burnout, etc.). Those who make such claims have failed to produce any
evidence that stands up and the arguments themselves are weak. It's a mystery
why this movement has found renewed energy; perhaps it meets some need. Could it
be that affluent communities like the idea of three or four family vacations
per year? "Summer in Europe; spring skiing in Aspen; to Vermont to watch the
leaves turn. This year-round school is wonderful."
