Using Anzio with WordPerfect UNIX

Printer-friendly version

Introduction

We have made special efforts to make ANZIO work extremely well with Word Perfect for UNIX (WP 5.1 and later). These features include:

1. Normal, shifted, control, and alt function keys that match WP for DOS.
2. Support for pass-through print from WP/Unix to the PC's printer.
3. Support for Print Preview on VGA and Hercules screens under DOS, and all screens under Windows.

The key to these features is the file ANZIO.TRS, which is a WP terminal definition file that describes ANZIO. This works in conjunction with ANZIOTIC.KYS described above.

To implement:

1. Install the ANZIO terminal type file on your UNIX/Linux host (an "anzio.tic" is included with the distribution of Anzio).
2. Set ANZIO's "TERM" to ANZIO.
3. Set UNIX's TERM (and/or WPTERM) to ANZIO.
4. Be sure you have told ANZIO to READ (or MERGE) the keys file ANZIOTIC.KYS.
5. Load the ANZIO.TRS file onto your UNIX system. This file must be put in WP's "shlib" directory, as "anzio.trs" (must be in lowercase). This is NOT a text file, so it must be transferred to UNIX in "binary" or "transparent" mode, such as
   1. via the UNIX system's floppy disk drive
   2. via AnzioWin FTP
   3. via AnzioWIn SFTP
   4. via Kermit
   5. or via ZMODEM.
   Note also that you probably need to have root privileges in order to put a file into the shlib directory.
