9. When you have assigned a Wabi drive letter to the CD ROM directory you can install the application using the Run command in Program Manager as described in The Run Command on page 124 Application Installation on a Network Server If you wantto install an application on a network server see Installing an Application on a Network Server on page 140 Because the Wabi program runs in a networked UNIX environment with a distributed file system it is easy to share applications over the network You do not need any additional software for file sharing as you would on a PC because your operating system provides that function You simply connect a Wabi drive to a directory on the network server where you want to install the application and specify this drive and directory when prompted for the installation location Most Wabi certified applications can be used in both standalone and network environments and provide a way to install to a network file server The method used for a network installation varies from application to application Some Installing Microsoft Windows Applications 125 126 installation programs require a switch on the command line which instructs the installation program to place the files on a network server so that users can then install the application from that location to their own workstations Other application installation programs offer a server installation option you can select in a dialog box
10. 10z Application Startup in Microsoft Windows File Manager You can use Microsoft Windows File Manager to start applications just as in the Microsoft Windows environment open a program file or a document file associated with an application In the Wabi environment however you cannot open files with COM PIF or BAT extensions because they are not Windows executables Only Windows executables with EXE extensions will run in the Wabi environment Application Startup in OpenWindows File Manager When you install applications into a Wabi environment running on an OpenWindows desktop the Wabi program creates a binding for the application and its associated files This is similar in concept to the Microsoft Windows File Manager s Associate function where you create an association between an application and the file types it creates The OpenWindows binding enables you to open a document file in OpenWindows File Manager and have the Wabi program start the application associated with or bound to the document file type See Solaris Desktop Integration on page 128 for more information Application Startup at the UNIX Command Line See Starting an Application From a UNIX Command on page 156 for the command format See Running an Application Transparently on page 157 for the command format You can run an application directly with the wabi command by specifying the application startup command as an argument to the wabi comman

18. Microsoft Windows applications running in the Wabi program If you want applications running in the Wabi program to be able to allocate all the colors they want you can set Technicolor 1 and put up with color flashing in inactive X windows If it does not matter if applications in Wabi get the exact colors they want you can set Technicolor 0 and color flashing is minimized as Wabi tries to share colors with other X applications The default value is 0 color flashing off unless there is more than one hardware colormap for the display screen If there is more than one hardware colormap it is assumed one will be available for Wabi and the value defaults to 1 This may sometimes cause color flashing on 24 bit displays When Technicolor 0 Wabi allocates colors from the default X colormap and then copies them to the Wabi colormap as described in The Wabi Colormap on page 197 in an attempt to share as many colors as possible Wabi User s Guide May 1996 B When Technicolor 1 Wabi uses a standard X colormap as its colormap This often causes color flashing on 8 bit displays and 24 bit displays when you switch between Wabi windows and other X windows If your X server has more than one hardware colormap but the colormaps are normally already in use by other X applications when you start Wabi you can set Technicolor to 0 to alleviate color flashing If your X server has one colormap as is the case with most 8 bit displays you

These switches which are described in Chapter 2 Starting Wabi must be specified before an application startup command The application startup command and optional file name must be the last arguments on the wabi command line Using Microsoft Windows Applications in an X Window Desktop The Wabi program is an X Window application but in some ways it behaves like a Microsoft Windows application Window focus and cut copy and paste methods are areas where Wabi behaves like Microsoft Windows rather than an X application Window Focus and Raising 150 Window managers on X Window desktops often let you choose your window focus policy You can configure your X Window desktop so that you must click on a window to activate it or so that you can move your mouse into a window to activate it In addition you can also specify whether you want a window to be raised to the top when activated Each UNIX vendor s desktop has its own terminology for these desktop properties and its own utility for changing them In Microsoft Windows you must click in a window before you can type into it When you do the window automatically rises to the top overlaying other windows Wabi s behavior matches that of Microsoft Windows Wabi windows use the click to focus mode even if you set your X Window desktop to use the follow mouse mode because it is the only mode Microsoft Windows applications can use You should configure you X Window desktop to

PercentFree specifies how much of the default X colormap Wabi should free up after allocating its colors The range of acceptable values is 0 through 100 with a default of 50 which means Wabi frees 50 of the color cells Setting PercentFree higher could reduce color flashing as you activate and deactivate the Wabi window because the other X windows use most of the colors that were in effect when they started However setting PercentFree to 100 means Wabi frees all the color cells it allocated which leaves the same number of free color cells as there were before Wabi started This may cause flashing as the default X colormap and the Wabi colormap are swapped in and out Setting PercentFree lower reduces the chance that other X applications will find insufficient free color entries available If an X application does not find enough free color cells it may display incorrect colors return an error message or detect that the default X colormap is too full and swap in its own virtual colormap This causes more color flashing when you move the mouse out of the X application s window When Technicolor 0 this variable defines how many shades of each of the seven colors red green blue cyan magenta yellow and gray are allocated A total of 7 shades x SolidColorCount colors are allocated The range of acceptable values is 1 through 16 with a default of 7 Set this variable higher to let Wabi allocate more colors so that applications
