    Wordsheets may be installed on a network server. The following 
    issues must be considered for network installation:
    
      A directory must be provided for temporary files (BGI.$$$ and 
     BGISTAT.$$$) created during crossword printing. The directory 
     must be unique for each user. Thus it can be a directory on a 
     local drive, or a private directory on the server. By 
     default,Wordsheets will use the directory where the executable 
     is. The directory may be switched to the directory Wordsheets 
     is started from or the temporary directory may be specified 
     explicitly with the /t parameter.
    
      Wordsheets creates a configuration file. This file is read at 
     program startup, and written to when printer setup is changed, 
     and at program termination. This configuration file should be 
     unique for each user. By default, Wordsheets will create a file 
     PUZZLER.CFG in the directory where the executable is. The 
     configuration file may be specified explicitly with the /c 
     parameter.
    
      When Wordsheets prints crosswords, it cycles between 
     rasterizing and printing. During rasterization, nothing is sent 
     to the printer. The network software that redirects program 
     output to network printers has a timeout value. If no data is 
     received by the time the timeout value is reached, the print 
     job is sent to the printer. Any subsequent data received is 
     considered a new print job. For Wordsheets's crosswords to 
     print correctly, the timeout value must be longer than the 
     longest rasterization sequence.

     Rasterization speed is dependent on the speed of the computer, 
     the complexity of the puzzle, the printer driver, the 
     resolution chosen, and the memory available. If the timeout 
     value is too short,  the crosswords may have corrupted sections 
     (dot matrix printers) or only part of the puzzle may print on 
     the page (laser printers). If the timeout value is too long, 
     the crosswords will print fine, however, the print job won't be 
     sent to the printer until the timeout has expired or until the 
     program is exited. (In other words, the timeout creates a pause 
     before the printing begins.)

     To set the timeout value on a Novell network,  use the /ti 
     parameter in the capture command. For an XT class computer 
     (8Mhz 8088) the timeout should be 45-90 seconds. For a 386 
     class computer the timeout value should be 15-30 seconds. For a 
     486 class computer, the timeout value should be 5-20 seconds. 
     Here is an example for a 386:
          capture lpt1 /nb /nff /au /ti=30 /q=print_q
    
      The Wordsheets word lists are not locked while they are being 
     edited or used in Puzzle creation. Generally speaking each user 
     will have their own word lists in their own directory so no 
     conflict should result. Word lists can be shared and protected 
     by placing them in a read only directory, or by setting the 
     read only attribute in a read write directory.
    
    
    Parameters
    Use the following parameters to customize Wordsheets for use in 
    your environment. The parameters may be specified on the command 
    line, or in the PZLCFG environment variable. You may use a ":" 
    instead of a "-" or omit both.
