1..Introduction


1.1.. What is Interleaf?

.Interleaf, Inc. provides software and services to allow organizations
.to build, integrate and manage document systems.  Interleaf software
.covers the full range of document processes: accessing information,
.developing text and graphic documents,  putting them through their
.review and revision processes,  distributing them electronically or on
.paper, and managing the entire process.

."Interleaf 6" is a document authoring and composition package.  It
.provides an integrated set of tools for creating compound documents:
.word processing, graphics, data-driven business charts, tables,
.equations, image editing, automated page layout, book building-
.including automatic index and TOC, conditional document assembly.  It
.includes several features engineered to support the production of large
.and complex document sets, including:  centralized control over parts
.or all of a document (format and/or content), global search and
.replace/change on individual graphics objects regardless of specific
.orientation or position, revision management.

.Also available (on some platforms) is the optional Developer's Toolkit 
.(DTK) for customizing or extending the capabilities of the above .
.authoring tool.  Developer's Toolkit is used to write programs in 
.Interleaf Lisp.  Interleaf Lisp is similar to CommonLISP, but it also 
.contains an extensive set of classes, methods, and functions for 
.examining and changing almost all Interleaf objects, including 
.documents and their contents.  DTK includes an editor, debugger, 
.compiler, listener, interpreter, and on-line documentation.  Lisp code 
.developed with DTK, or even written with an ordinary editor, can be 
.executed by the stock system, so that customization or the provision of 
.special functionality is not limited to installations with DTK.  In 
.fact, much of the distributed system is written in Lisp.

.Another option for Interleaf 6 is "Interleaf 6 <SGML>" which provides
.complete support for creating structured documents in SGML.

.Other products available from Interleaf include the following:

."RDM" (Relational Document Manager) organizes, tracks and manages
.documents and data, and automates every stage of the document
.lifecycle.

."Worldview" distributes information from virtually any source in
.document form for online viewing on virtually any computer.  It
.combines electronic viewing with hypertext navigation and full-text
.retrieval.

."Intellecte/BusinessWeb" provides a Web browser interface to 
.RDM respositories and WorldView collections via HTML- and 
.Java-based search engines.  Other Intellecte offerings provide a 
.number of different solutions; contact your Interleaf representative 
.for the latest offerings.


1.2..What platforms does Interleaf run on, and what are the latest versions?

.Full details are on Interleaf's Web page http://www.interleaf.com

.Interleaf 6:

.Interleaf 6.1 has been released on certain Unix platforms with
.the Motif User Interface. The product is available for Sun,
.HP, IBM, and DEC (OSF 1 1.3.x) workstations. Requirements for
.memory range from 16mB to 32mB and disk requirements from 36
.to 68mB, in addition to minimum swap space of from 32-64 mB
.per session, with 64-128mB per host.

.Interleaf 6.2 has been released for Windows NT and Win95.


.Interleaf 5:

.Interleaf 5.4 remains available on the following workstation
.platforms:  DG Aviion, DEC VAX/VMS, DEC Ultrix, HP 700, HP
.300/400, HP/Apollo (Domain), IBM RS/6000, 
.Motorola Delta 8000, Sun-3, Sun-4, Silicon Graphics Iris.

.The "standard" version of Interleaf 5 provides a UI consistent across
.all the platforms it runs on.

.DOS:  (386/486)
.Interleaf 5.4 for DOS is the current edition.
.
.The 5.4 release includes international
.localizations for French, German and Italian, Full Revision Tracking,
.support for DEC Pathworks, improved/additional video device driver
.support, and better support for running from within a Microsoft Windows
.3.1 environment (as a DOS application).  Since Interleaf has not
.completed work on the remaining localizations for Dutch, Spanish and
.Swedish interfaces, this release is seeing limited distribution in
.North America.  The additional languages and other new features will be
.included in the upcoming release, Interleaf 5.4 for DOS.  Customers can
.upgrade from Interleaf IBM Publisher 3.x. (aka version 1.x) to version
.5.2.02 or wait for version 5.4.  Interleaf 5 for DOS is interoperable
.with the Unix and VMS based versions.  It includes all the
.functionality of the workstation-based product (tables, equations,
.charting, graphics, etc.) plus some additional features that allow the
.user to run in Microsoft Windows 3.1 environments without extra memory
.managers or special set-ups.  Features planned for v5.4 include a new
.simplified GUI install, 32-bit color image support and a new font
.hierarchy to greatly reduce disk footprint.

.MAC:
.The current version is Interleaf Publisher for the Mac, version 3.6.
.This product does not conform to the Mac UI, and is no longer available
.from Interleaf.

.Interleaf has announced that no further Macintosh releases are
.planned, though using a Macintosh as an X-server, with the
.software running on a remote Unix system, is perfectly feasible.


1.3..How much does Interleaf cost?

.Interleaf pricing depends on the exact configuration purchased
.and option packaging varies from country to country. There are 
.several different "options" for Interleaf 5 and 6, 
.including DTK, Revision.Tracking, and Book Catalogs.  The
."base model" Interleaf license is *very* competitive with
.FrameMaker, or other similar systems.  Adding 
.the above options can be quite expensive.  Many sites use a network
.pool of many inexpensive "basic" licenses plus a few expensive "full
.blown" licenses.

.It has been noted that universities receive a tremendous educational
.discount, and that commerical and educational license costs for
.Interleaf and its competitors differ greatly depending on which country
.you live in and which platform you are buying.  In the US, full-blown
.Interleaf 6 is available to accredited colleges and universities for
.about $200 per site, plus handling.  See the web page at
.http://www.cs.umb.edu/~serl for a pointer to details. That
.page describes a program which applies only to U.S. universities.
.Terms for institutions of higher education in other countries 
.(and for businesses and individuals as well) vary by country. 


1.4.How does Interleaf compare to {FrameMaker,IslandWrite,WordPerfect,etc.}?

.This is a religious and/or political issue for many, and it is very
.hard to provide an objective answer.  The following summarizes a few
.majority opinions from the frequent discussions in the newsgroup.

.Frame is generally considered to be a "mid-range" application; it is
.easy to learn, but experienced users find complex tasks difficult or
.impossible.  Many I5 users hate the "toolbox", "Mac/PC-like"
.interface. 

.Interleaf is thought of as a "high-end" system; it is difficult to get
.started, but expandable and powerful when advanced tasks must be done.
.While many new users abhor the I5 UI, a seemingly equal number
.of experts praise it.  I6 for unix has a traditional Motif
.interface whose graphics editory is largely toolbox based.  6.1
.offers a combination of traditional Motif/MSWindows style
.interface with optional "power user" UI features.

.Interleaf's document creation metaphor is object-oriented and
.structured in approach, in contrast to the page-layout orientation of
.many "Desktop Publishing" products like Frame, Quark, PageMaker, etc.
.This is often a widely misunderstood difference when comparing
.Interleaf to other "similar" products.

.IslandWrite, WordPerfect, MS-Word, et al. have been considered
.low end applications, but as they improve on their
.capabilities, Interleaf distinguishes itself from them in the
.complexity and size of documents it can deal with, in its
.level of integration of text and graphics, and in its open
.architecture for third party extensibility.

1.6.What does FAQ mean?

.If you don't know what a FAQ is, you need to learn more about Usenet.
.Read the introductory postings in news.announce.newusers.


1.7.Why doesn't this FAQ contain info on <your-topic-here>?

.This FAQ is biased toward the Unix Workstation platforms, but that is
.probably a function of the popularity of Interleaf on various
.platforms, the popularity of competing products, and the areas of
.expertise of the FAQ contributors.  If you have valuable information 
.that we missed, or if our assumptions that you are running Unix 
.confuse things, we welcome your suggestions on how to improve this 
.document.

.If something in the FAQ doesn't work for you, it may be due to the
.version of the software you're running, or the platform you're
.running it on.  Most of the active newsgroup posters and FAQ
.contributors seem to be running very recent versions of Interleaf
.(5.4, 6.0 or later) and have Unix workstation platforms,
.usually including SunOS.

.This FAQ is *NOT* intended to be a substitute for the standard
.Interleaf documentation.  Hopefully it will contain the most frequently
.occurring issues that are hard-to-find or absent from the
.documentation.


1.8.Should I post my question to comp.text.interleaf?

.- Understand the introductory information in the news.announce.newusers
.  newsgroup.  Be sure to read the "Rules for posting to Usenet" 
          posting.

.- Read this FAQ.

.- Post to local.test or misc.test if you've never posted before.

.If your question is still unanswered, post it.  Be sure to include all
.the necessary information as appropriate such as:

..The version of Interleaf you are running (including patches)
..The hardware platform you are on
..The version of your Operating System and windowing system
..How much memory and swap space you have
..What type of printer it won't print on
..etc.
.
.This information is also important when you are asking your question
.via email to someone.


1.9.My site does not get netnews. Is there a ListServ or other
.mail gateway for comp.text.interleaf?

.-No.

2..ADMINISTRATION


2.1.Interleaf administration vs. Unix administration of Interleaf

.The Interleaf System Administration manual provides procedures that
.require the administrator to be running Interleaf, manipulating icons,
.etc., and running Interleaf programs like printer_install and
.prhost_install -- is this really necessary?

.No.  But Interleaf has mixed feelings about providing "Interleaf
.procedures" and "Unix procedures" for the same tasks.  Most of the
.Interleaf procedures have easy Unix shortcuts, but use them at your
.own risk.  The Interleaf equivalent of "ln -s" takes several mouse/
.menu operations.  Some administrators edit their printers.lsp file
.directly (or have their custom shell script do it), never running
.the printer_install or prhost_install programs.

.In the DOS version of Interleaf 5, many of these tasks have been
.simplified and moved into the hands of the end users.  For example,
.prhost_install and printer_install have been merged into one program
.which is run by the user from within Interleaf 5 itself.


2.2.Printing


2.2.1.Can I create PostScript files on the desktop in Interleaf?

.Yes.  The administrator runs printer_install and creates a new
."printer" named "PostScript" (or whatever).  Choose filtering on the
.desktop, the "Other PostScript printer" model, use the NULL.PPD file,
.face down output, and choose *not* to spool to the printer.  Whatever
.menu name you chose (I suggest "<PostScript File>") will now appear in
.the printer menu.  When selected, it will output to a PostScript file
.in the current directory.  The filename will have a suffix of "_ps"
.(no, Interleaf hasn't learned the ".ps" Unix convention).
.[the previous paragraph works fine on the 5.3 Sun version of Interleaf;
.for other platforms, your mileage may vary]

.Adventuresome hackers can simply insert the following into their
./interleaf/ileaf5/data/printers.lsp file (on Unix hosts):
..(
..:netname "PostScript"
..:menuname "<PostScript>"
..:filt-args ("-ppd" "NULL.PPD" "-ft" "3")
..:pdltag "ps"
..:filter "pl2ps"
..:install "ps_install"
..:ps-type1 ("-ft" "3")
..:ppdfile "NULL.PPD"
..:rvopt " "
..:european " "
..:physical-printer "PostScript"
..:spool "n"
..:filter-loc "desktop"
..:type "ps"
..:model "Other PostScript printer"
..:id :bsd-other-ps
..)

.On Interleaf 5 for DOS, this comes as a default setup.

.On Interleaf 6 for Win95/NT, you can create Postscript files with the 
."Print to file . . ." system printer option.


2.2.2.Can Interleaf 5 create Encapsulated PostScript files (EPS files)?

.Yes.  Beginning with Interleaf 5.3, you have the ability to create EPS
.3.0 files as an option under the printer pulldown menu.  To add this
.functionality simply add another printer using printer_install.  Select
."EPS File" as the printer type.  This will add EPS to your PRINT menu.
.When printing to EPS, the EPS file will contain one entire page
.(including page #, etc.).

.In Interleaf 5 for DOS, add the "-EPS" option to the switch settings
.for creating PS files in the Printer Setup Tool, and save this as a
.new menu entry ("Create EPS File").

.If you want to filter an object that will be placed on a page in some
.other program, you'll need to set the document size appropriately.
.(Unless there is some other way to let Interleaf know where the
.boundaries of the object are.)  Since a typical EPS file is one graphic
.object, you can set the frame size to "Contents," then back to "Fixed"
.to see the actual size of the graphic.  Then, open the Page property
.sheet and enter the frame height and width values as the page size.
.(If someone knows a better way, we'd like to hear about it.)

.There are some subtle differences between PostScript files and EPS
.files.  Each format has its appropriate uses, so both are discussed
.here.  See the comp.lang.postscript FAQ for the gory details.

.One idiosyncrasy of Interleaf-generated EPS files is the line
..%%BoundingBox: (atend)
.Some programs insist on having the BoundingBox at the beginning of
.the document, so if you have an application which chokes on Interleaf
.EPS, move this line to the initial comments section.


2.2.3.Are there special problems with SPARCprinters using NeWSprint?

.Maybe.  Some users have noted problems with SPARCprinters, and other
.note problems with certain fonts or frames or bullets looking "dirty".
.Make sure you have the right PPD file.
.[This section is still under construction.  If you have info to add,
.please send a summary to the editors]


2.2.4.Printerleaf-to-PostScript

.The pl2ps command can be very useful in debugging printing problems.
.Create a printerleaf (*.pl) output file by selecting "Printerleaf" in
.the Printers menu.  Now you can convert this to a PostScript file by
.running pl2ps.  Execute "pl2ps -usage" for a summary of options.  A
.typical invocation would be:
.    % pl2ps  -v  -ppd NULL.PPD  -i docname.pl  -o docname.ps
.The -v (verbose) flag is useful for debugging.  You must always specify
.a PPD file -- this is a good way to test PPD files.


2.2.5.PPD (PostScript Printer Definition) Files

.Adobe PostScript Printer Description (PPD) files describe how to use
.the standard and special features (hardware and software) on a
.specific PostScript printer.  This would include things such as which
.fonts are resident, if duplexing is supported, how many trays exist
.and which paper sizes are available.  PPD files are created by the
.printer manufacturer, not Interleaf.  Interleaf only includes a few of
.the most popular ones on its distribution tape.

.Interleaf PPD files are located in the /interleaf/ileaf5/data/ps
.directory.  These files are usually named with the printer's
.designation and the version of PostScript being used (e.g.,
.LWNTX470.PPD means Apple LaserWriter NTX with PostScript version 4.70).

.Since the Apple LaserWriter is the simple, standard least-common-
.denominator of printers, you can probably get by using the default
.APPLE422.PPD file if you are running Interleaf 5.0 through 5.3.0.
.If you are using version 5.3.1 of Interleaf, you can probably get
.by using the NULL.PPD file.  If these files don't work (i.e., you
.still can't print), or if you want to use advanced capabilites
.your printer may have, you need to get the correct PPD file for your
.printer.

.How to get PPD files.  If you have a printer that isn't on the
.Interleaf tape, you can obtain PPD files directly from Adobe.
.Adobe has an automated mail server that can e-mail PPD files
.(and a bunch of other stuff) directly to you over the
.Internet.  To find out what PPD files are available send mail
.to: ps-file-server@adobe.com.  In the body of the message, on
.the first line, type: "index PPDFiles".  The server will send
.you a list of the PPD files it has available.  For information
.on how to use the server, send another e-mail message to
.ps-file-server@adobe.com.  In the body of the message, on the
.first line, include one word: "help".  The server will send
.you a message describing how to access information.

.All the PPD files on the Adobe server follow the version 4 PPD
.specification.  This means that you must upgrade to version 5.3.1 or
.higher of Interleaf to use type-4 PPD files.  Contact the printer
.manufacturer if you need an older type-3 PPD file.


2.2.6.How do I suppress the Interleaf header page by default?

.The administrator should change the Print->Properties in the original
.document, which lives in the SYSTEM CREATE cabinet; then any new
.documents created will inherit those values.  This change is probably
.effected most easily when the administrator has created a MASTER
.SYSTEM5 CABINET icon on his desktop -- see the administration manual
.for details.


2.2.7.Where can I get more specific information about my Brand XYZ printer?

.See the comp.periphs.printers and comp.lang.postscript newsgroups.


2.2.8.My output seemed to go to the printer, but nothing printed!

.One good way to debug PostScript printing problems is to download a
.PostScript error handler program.  This is a simple PostScript program
.that you "print" to your printer (but no output is generated).  You
.now have an error-handler "loop" running until printer power is cycled.
.If your Interleaf output generates improper PostScript code, instead of
.silently exiting, you will get an error message printed on a page of
.output, which may be of use to a PostScript guru, your printer vendor,
.etc.  You can get an error handler from the Adobe mailserver (see
."PPD files", above).

2.2.9.Can I print an Interleaf doc without actually running Interleaf?

.Use the -print startup option when you enter the Interleaf 5
.startup command. This prints a document without opening a
.desktop. You supply the name(s) of the document as an
.argument.

.You can specify a printer other than the nearest printer, print
.multiple copies/uncollated copies, print odd or even numbered
.pages, and print a range of pages.

.To specify a printer other than the nearest printer established
.for the workstation, add :printer NAME as an argument to the
.command line option. The default is the nearest printer, which
.may not be the one you want.

.Example:  To print 5 copies of pages 2 through 15 of the
.document plan.doc on the printer ely, use the following command:

.  ileaf -print :copies 5 :first 2 :last 15 :printer ely plan.doc

2.3.File management

2.3.1.What are all these ,8 and ,9 files on my desktop?

.For every Interleaf document file.doc, you get a set of additional
.files with assorted filename extensions. At Interleaf 5, the
.filename extensions are as follows:
.
           filename.doc  the document
. filename.doc,1  the backup version of the document
. filename.doc#1  a copy of the document
       filename.doc#1,1  the backup version of the copy
. filename.doc,2  the checkpoint version of the document
. filename.doc,3  the crash version of the document
. filename.doc,4  the work-in-progress version of the document
. filename.doc,5  Lisp methods associated with the document
. filename.doc,6  Lisp data associated with the document,
... most often Hyperleaf Toolkit data (see 2.18)
. filename.doc,8  an autonumbering and autoreferencing summary file 
... for this document
. filename.doc,9  an indexing summary file for this document
. .@filename.doc  an attribute file with information on document
.    .. attributes and icon position

.When you copy normal documents (without Hyperleaf TK data -
.locators or hypertext links), move them, send them through email, 
.etc, the only version you need is the plain .doc version.

.backup version (filename.doc,1)
.. The backup version is made by Interleaf automatically
.. (based on the number of keystrokes you make or mouse
.. movements in a graphics frame).  You can use this
.. file to recover lost changes if something disastrous
.. happens when you are working on a doc and you don't
.. have a chance to save a crash file, eg a power cut.
 
                 In such a case, list the files to see if the .1 version 
                 has a later time stamp than the .doc version. If it has, 
                 rename the ,1 version (eg backup.doc) and open that - this
                 should recover some if not all of your changes.

    .. For example:

.. % ls -l body*
.. -rw-r--r--  1 julie       16382 Jan 27 18:15 body.doc
.. -rw-r--r--  1 julie       18052 Jan 27 18:27 body.doc,1
.. -rw-r--r--  1 julie         532 Jan 27 16:42 body.doc,8
.. % mv body.doc,1 body-backup.doc

.crash version  (filename.doc,3)
..If you get an Interrupt stickup (eg SIGSEGV signal) in the
..middle of editing a document, you can save your document
..in a crash file (the File option). Select the File option
..for as many open documents as you are working on and then
..exit. When you next try to open your original document you
..will get a popup telling you that a crash file exists and
..offering you the choice which version of the doc you want
..to open. If it no good, you can always revert to another 
..version (backup, saved).

.work-in-progress (filename.doc,4)
..This is created when you execute Close in a document
..you have modified and choose Hold on the stickup. It is
..also created if have more than 4 docs open at once in a
..book.  You can change this limit in the user profile.
..With 4 edited and unsaved docs open, when you open a
..5th  document, Interleaf will close one of the first 4,
..keeping all changes you have made in a work-in-progess
..file. Next time you open a doc with a work-in-progress
..file, Ileaf automatically opens that version.

.        **NOTE:.See also Bugs & Workarounds section**

   .attribute file (.@filename.doc)
..This is the file that controls where the icon appears
..on the screen. When you copy a file to your desktop
..using the OS and it doesn't appear on the desktop, it's
..because the file has no associated .@ file. When you do
..a rescan, a .@ file is created. When you delete a file
..from an Interleaf directory using the OS and you don't
..delete the associated .@ file, the icon will remain
..visible in Interleaf. If you select the icon and look
..at its Property sheet, you will see that it is an
..incomplete file. You need to delete the associated .@
..file when you delete a document (folder/cabinet/file) 
..using the OS (or you can simply cut the icon in Interleaf).



3..IMPORT-EXPORT, 3rd party tools, customizing


3.1.Importing information into Interleaf


3.1.1.Importing files


3.1.2.How do I get the name of the document into my file?

.To put the document name into a frame--typically a header or footer
.frame--type Escape-@ into a text string.  Some distributions may use
.the key binding Escape-n.  This won't work in microdocuments.  This is
.parallel to putting in page numbers with Escape-#, or the date with
.Ctrl-X d.

.The LISP command "(tell *document* mid:get-name)" will return a string
.with the document name.  I suppose one could automate the insertion of
.this string in much the same way as the autodate2 program (q.v.),
.though I'd be interested to see something simpler.  This is such a
.useful capability that I hope someone posts a nice solution.


3.1.3.How do I get the date into my file?

.If working in a book with a catalog, you can place the date in a shared
.component or shared-content frame within the catalog.  Turn frame
.and/or component exports on.  Then you only need to update the catalog
.when the date changes.

.If not working in a book, you can tag the document with an attribute
.for "date" and use Effectivity Control to control what date appears in
.the document.

.In Interleaf 5, you can use the Ctrl-x d command in a component or
.microdocument to insert the current system date, although it will not
.update automatically each time the document is accessed.

.Lisp scripts can be written to insert a date that will change
.dynamically, or to change the format of the date.

.Bob Morris has written some active document LISP code will make the
.current date appear in an I5 document automatically when you
.open it.  It will also give you the option of freezing the
.date upon closing the document, i.e.  "deactivating" the
.document at close time.  The latest version of this LISP file
.is named "autodate2", and is available via anonymous ftp ftom
.ftp.cs.umb.edu in the /pub/interleaf/lisp/ directory, and by
.gopher or the World Wide Web as described in Section 6.

.In Interleaf6, a similar facility is provided with the software.


3.1.4.How can I make "form letters" where name/addresses are pulled in from
.external sources?

.The January 1992 issue of "Foliage", the (now defunct) newsletter of 
        the Northeast Interleaf User's Group, had an article on how to do this 
        with ASCII markup.

.The general idea (modified somewhat from the article) is
.to define components such as <address>, <salutation>, <letter1>, and so
.on in an Interleaf document.  Use "Global apply" or "Unify all" to make
.sure the component masters match what you see on screen.  Save
.<letter1> with contents, and turn on its "Shared contents" property.
.Turn on the "Start new page = yes" property of The first component in
.the letter, e.g. <date>.  Save the document as ASCII, with a name such
.as letter_master.doc.

.Have your database write out a file such as:
.    <!class defaults, fill = blank>
.    <!Include definitions /home/my/desktop/letter_master.doc>

.    <date>December 2, 1992
.    <address>John Smith
.    <address>1111 Home Street
.    <address>Anytown, USA 02000
.    <salutation>Dear Mr. Smith:
.    <letter1>

.    <date>December 2, 1992
.    <address>John Q. Public
.    <address>222 Any Place
.    ...

.The <!class ...> is needed only if your external data contains multiple
.lines of text within a component.

.Since line breaks are not significant, and a blank line repeats the
.preceding component, the following is equivalent:
.    <!class defaults, fill = blank>
.    <!Include definitions /home/my/desktop/letter_master.doc>

.    <date>
.    December 2, 1992

.    <address>
.    John Smith

.    1111 Home Street

.    Anytown, USA 02000

.    <salutation>
.    Dear Mr. Smith:

.    <letter1>
.    ...

.If you load this file into Interleaf, or print it using Interleaf
.command line parameters, Interleaf will expand the shared <letter1>
.content in each instance.

.Substituting external data into the text of the letter is much harder.
.It requires tricks with inline components, which are extremely ugly in
.ASCII markup.  See the Interleaf File Formats manual for more details.


3.1.5.Importing Graphics
.    -PostScript
..The psfilt program is used to import PostScript into an 
..Interleaf document.  As of ileaf5.3, it is bundled with 
..Interleaf free of charge.
.    -other Interleaf 5.3 filters will import CGM and TIFF files

.Interleaf 6 for Win95/NT includes what appears to be fairly good OLE 
.support -- with the Paste Special command, you can paste document 
.elements from other OLE-compliant applications directly into an 
.Interleaf document.  (For instance, you can paste a Visio flowchart 
.directly into an Interleaf document.)  when you double-click on those 
.elements, you get a small window into the other application, which 
.allows you to edit the element in its interface.  You can give the 
.resulting Interleaf document to other people to edit, as long as they 
.also have the other applications.

.Interleaf 6 also ships with a vastly expanded import/export filter 
.library; filters included (at least in the Windows version) are:

.Graphics (B&W and color):
..Adobe Illustrator
..AutoCAD (import only)
..Windows BMP (import only)
..CGM
..GIF (import only)
..GSA Navy DIF
..DrawPerfect
..HPGL (Hewlett-Packard's plotter language, import only)
..IGES (import only, converts 3D to 2D)
..Pc Paintbrush PCX (import only)
..PICT
..TIFF
..Windows Metafile (WMF)

.Note: Tom Jones reports that Interleaf's import filter crashed 
.repeatedly when he tried to import a WMF file created by Interleaf's 
.output filter.

.Text:
..AmiPro
..DCA
..DEC DX
..EBCDIC
..Excel XLS spreadsheets (which convert to tables)

..IBM DisplayWrite
..Lotus WK3 spreadsheets (which convert to tables)
..Mass-11
..MultiMate
..Plain ASCII text
..Microsoft Word RTF (see note below)
..Wang PC
..WordStar
..XyWrite

.Note: RTF is a text-only format.  To convert Microsoft Word documents 
.containing graphics to Interleaf, save them in WordPerfect format and 
.import that file.
.
.Mixed graphics and text:
..FrameMaker (import only)
..WordPerfect

3.1.6.FrameMaker to Interleaf

.Interleaf has a Frame to Interleaf filter called "miffilt" that is 
.available for SunSPARC, HP, IBM RS-6000, Ultrix, DOS, and Windows 
.95/NT.  It works with Interleaf 5.3 and is included in the Interleaf 
.Motif release.

.See also the "Interleaf-to-Framemaker" section below about Filtrix
.by Blueberry Software.


3.2.Exporting information from Interleaf


3.2.1.Exporting Interleaf documents to PostScript format

.You can create PostScript or, beginning with v5.3, Encapsulated
.PostScript (EPS 3.0) documents as long as your administrator has
.installed the printers appropriately.  See the administration section
.for information on this, plus other filtering caveats.


3.2.2.Exporting Interleaf PostScript into troff

.Interleaf, like many other proprietary packages, assumes that its
.PostScript output is part of a larger (Interleaf- generated) PostScript
.file.  Each fragment makes assumptions about the environment, e.g.,
.counting on certain macros or variables to be defined, perhaps through
.a prologue.  The troff PostScript postprocessor would have to know
.about every such environment for every proprietary package a priori,
.and put it in the prologue for you.  Every now and then something
.works, often enough to lead you to believe it will always work.  If
.you're a programmer, it's a bit like taking a C function that requires
.global variables and never initializing them.  PostScript is, indeed, a
.programming language, not just a printer format.


3.2.3.Exporting Graphics

.Many users are confused on how to export graphics.  Some users report
.success when saving the Interleaf document as a PostScript file, then
.using other packages to convert the PostScript to whatever format is
.desired.

.Once you've got PostScript, use the GNU package GhostScript to convert
.it to PBM (Portable Bit Map), GIF (Graphics Interchange Format), or PCX
.(PC Paintbrush).  GhostScript is available at all the popular GNU ftp
.sites.  These file formats are all compile-time options, so if you've
.already got GhostScript at your site make sure it has the right formats
.compiled in.

.If you need a format other than one listed above, convert to PBM first
.then use the PBMPLUS suite of conversion filters to convert PBM to
.whatever you need.  PBMPLUS handles a ton of file formats, and is
.available at many popular ftp sites.

.If you're not on a Unix system, GhostScript is available for MS-DOS and
.VMS, and PBMPLUS is available on the Amiga (and possibly other
.platforms).  You can also find other graphics conversion programs for
.most platforms.  PBM and GIF formats in particular are rather common,
.so if you can convert to one of those it's likely you can find
.something to convert to the format you really want.

.Beware of converting multiple page documents to a graphics format.
.Most graphics formats don't really have the concept of "page".
.GhostScript will still do the conversion, but will convert each page as
.a separate image.  That's good.  Unfortunately, it puts all those
.images in the same file.  That's bad.  It's pretty easy to write a sed,
.awk, or perl script to split multiple PBM images out of a single file;
.I've never really tried it for the other graphics formats.

.You can go through these steps to produce an image file suitable
.for faxing via faxmodem!  Tell GhostScript to use a resolution of
.210x98 dpi; this is the resolution of a fax machine.  (Use 210x196
.dpi for "fine" mode.)  PBMPLUS includes a filter for PBM to Group 3
.FAX.


3.2.4.Interleaf to FrameMaker

.A third-party tool called Filtrix by Blueberry Software claims to
.support Interleaf-to-Frame and vice versa, but at last report, the
.Interleaf TPS 4.0 file format was the latest supported.  Blueberry's
.number is 1-707-829-5443.  It is unknown whether a version that
.supports Interleaf 5.3 is planned.  It is still possible to use the 
.product by filtering Frame to TPS4.0 and then converting to Interleaf 
.5.  And to go the other way, you can convert your Ileaf5 document to 
.TPS4 before you filter it to FrameMaker.

.Frame Technology Corp. now has an Interleaf to FrameMaker filter,
.called "ileaf2mif".  For a while, Frame was offering it free to new
.with new purchases, and advertising it as "the Ultimate Interleaf
.Upgrade".  Some users report reasonable operation, but others note
.that it will not handle equations, etc.  Like Filtrix, it only handles
.the TPS4.0 version of Interleaf.  Users report:
."I've used the Interleaf->Frame filter ileaf2mif on Suns to translate
.Interleaf files to MIF for end use on PC.  The filter does a
.reasonable job of handling Interleaf 4.X ASCII format files, but fails
.on Interleaf 5.3 ASCII format files.  You can convert within 5.3 to a
.4.X format ASCII, but there are still things in the resultant file the
.Frame filter doesn't like.  The only way I could make this transfer
.work was convert our 5.3 files to 4.X; invoke Interleaf 4 and save the
.converted files once again from Interleaf 4; then run the filter on
.the 4.X files.  This worked fine.  The large caveat here is that
.Interleaf 5.3 supports many features not available in 4.X.  If you
.depend on any of these new features, you might be out of luck.  We
.have only a few documents in this unfortunate situation; they will
.continue on as Interleaf docs for the time being.  Another potential
.problem is you must have Interleaf 4.  I never did isolate what the
.differences were between 4.X ASCII and 5.3-converted-to-4.X ASCII.  It
.might be possible to hand edit (or sed edit) the files."
."The final hurdle in filtering is that Interleaf and Framemaker
.philosophies for handling shared content, graphics objects, page
.layouts, you name it, differ enough that the MIF files produced by
.Frame's ileaf2mif filter are at best poorly structured Frame files.
.To be fair, they do make reasonable compromises and the job of
.improving translated files is far easier than the job of hand
.translating Interleaf documents to Framemaker."
."[Frame's Interleaf-to-Frame filter] is OK, but no raves.  It ...can't
.handle all the autoreferencing since the two codes use such different
.models.  I converted a 900 page manual with lots of references and
.figures.  It took me about a month to get things back to an
.auto-updating state in Framemaker.  Oh well, at least it beats
.retyping."

3.2.5.Interleaf to HTML

.Interleaf's Cyberleaf program is a commercial program which
.converts from many sources, including Interleaf binary or
.ASCII.  See Section 7.0 for more details.

.There is at least one free tool: leaf2html available by
.ftp from ftp.mindspring.com in the /users/achtung directory.
.This program does not handle hyperleaf links or provide a
.facility for adding user-provided links.  It chunks large
.documents into small html files and automatically links them.
.


3.3.Third Party Tools

.Contact Interleaf at (800) 955-5323 (press 1 for Sales Support) for a 
.list of current Interleaf business partners, and a brief description of 
.products that work with Interleaf.


3.3.1.Spelling/Grammar Checkers

.Chris Talbott reports:
.My group has had Avalanche's ProofPositive in-house for about a year
.now, and it seems to be a fairly nice grammar/style checker.  It's
.based on the Houghton-Mifflin engine, and it's pretty quick.
.ProofPositive is an Interleaf layered application which runs against an
.open document on your desktop.  It's got a fair level of control over
.which rules it uses and how sensitive it is (e.g. how badly an
.infinitive has to be split before it complains), and it has a
.Dictionary/ Thesaurus program as well.  Our only complaint with it is
.that it won't work non-interactively (a key concern for us, maybe not
.for you).  Apparently, a future release of PP will allow you to define
.your own grammar rules.

.Oracle produces a grammar checker for Interleaf called CoAuthor.  It
.seems like it offers roughly the same capability that ProofPositive
.does, for about the same price.  It uses its own UI, however, instead
.of the native Interleaf one.

.Deborah Graham reports that ProofPositive and CoAuthor do not work
.with Interleaf 6.


3.3.2.SQL

.Chris Talbott reports:
.A third-party tool called Smartleaf allows SQL calls to be embedded
.into Interleaf components, to pull information from databases into a
.formatted Interleaf documents, for example.  Smartleaf is produced by
.Database Publishing Software in Woburn, MA.  (617-938-0018)  They also
.produce a document comparison tool called Smartleaf/Compare.  We've had
.Smartleaf/Compare in-house for about as long as we have had
.ProofPositive.  The tool is useful for such things as comparing an
.archived version of a document/book with the "current" version
.(especially if several revisions have come between the documents in
.question).  As of Apr 1993, the comparison algorithm is not as robust
.as might be desired, and the options for marking the changes in the
."difference document" are less than stellar, but their 3.0 release (in
.alpha test Apr 1993?) is supposed to have greatly improved the
.algorithm and the marking options.  Database Publishing is also
.involved in developing applications for CALS/SGML support.


3.3.3.Clip Art

.For the (now defunct) GenRad newsletter, Deborah Graham used a demo 
        package from:

.Fusion Graphics
        1728 Moorpark Road
        Thousand Oaks, CA 91360
.(805) 494-8411

        They had an extensive collection of clip art that was compatible with 
.Interleaf and other systems.  However, Deborah believes that the
.collection is no longer available.


3.3.4.Graphics tools

.XV is a shareware program by John Bradley of U. Penn.  It can read
.and write GIF, PM, PBM, X11 bitmap, Sun Raster, PostScript, JPEG,
.and TIFF file formats, and is a very useful translation tool.  It is
.available via ftp from ftp.cis.upenn.edu in the /pub/xv directory.

.IslandPaint, from Island Graphics, is a good bitmap (or raster)
.graphic editor.  It can read TIFF, GIF, Group3 FAX, Sun Raster, and
.X11 bitmap files.  It can write TIFF and Sun Raster files that
.Interleaf can filter into pasteable graphic images.

.IslandDraw, from Island Graphics, is a good object drawing editor.
.It can read and edit EPS, EPS objects, CGM, HPGL, PICT, and Frame
.3.0 MIF drawings.  It writes EPSF, EPSI, TIFF, CGM, and Frame 3.0 MIF
.file formats.  Interleaf can directly paste in EPSI drawings (and
.display them on screen as of v5.3.1)

.CorelDraw, from Prior Data Sciences, is a drawing program that
.imports and exports "most standard graphics formats such as TIFF
.and EPS".


3.4.Customizing tips


3.4.1.Startup options

.Many startup options for Interleaf are configurable via X11 resources.
.See chapter 1 of the Interleaf 5 System Administation manual.  Startup
.options start on page 1-8.  Xresources are on pages 1-14 through 1-16.
.One favorite addition to $HOME/.Xdefaults files is

.    Ileaf.geometry:.1141x869+0+0

.which works well on Suns to make the desktop window cover the whole
.screen.  Many startup options can also be handled with command line
.options.

.A list of supported Xresources for Interleaf 6 is provided (with
.usage explanations) in the text file: $ILEAF6_HOME/data/x/Xres


3.4.2.Mouse Buttons

.How can you change the default mouse buttons on a site-wide basis?

.Edit /interleaf/ileaf5/english.cab/Custom.cab/profile.drw/init.lsp
.(english.cab may be a different name, depending on the installed
.language).  Each Interleaf user has a symbolic link to this file from
.their ~/desktop/System5.cab/Custom.cab/profile.drw.  Uncomment the
.three lisp commands shown below, and edit them to specify the desired
.system default actions.
.    ;;;
.    ;;;     Mouse button mappings:
.    ;;;
.    ;(tell *wn-wmgr* mid:set-props :left-button :select)
.    ;(tell *wn-wmgr* mid:set-props :middle-button :menu)
.    ;(tell *wn-wmgr* mid:set-props :right-button :extend)
.Any user with a customized profile (e.g. created with Profile Tool)
.will get the settings from the profile, overriding these defaults.


3.4.3.Keyboard mapping

.Many users have asked about changing the function/behavior of
.certain keys.  Some complain of "no R1 key on the Sun keyboard",
.or want "a delete-to-the-right key like TPS4.0 had".

.One solution is to use xmodmap(1).  This, however, is not a "within
.Interleaf" solution -- xmodmap will change the keyboard mappings for
.the whole login session.

.One small example of xmodmap is the following command, which will
.make the "Del" key on the right hand keypad of a Sun (keycode 57)
.perform the function of the "Cut/L10" key ("F20"):
.    xmodmap -e keycode 57 + F20
.

3.4.4.Default document templates

.The documents in your ~/desktop/System5.cab/Create.cab are those which
.you see when you press the menu button with nothing selected on the
.desktop, and then pull right a submenu on "Create".  Note that some
.files in this directory are typically links into the master cabinet.
.You can remove these links and create your own, or use the more popular
.method of creating your own subdirectory (called "mytemplates.fdr" for
.example).  Put your template documents there, and then pull right thru
.Create->mytemplates-> to create new documents.

.For site-wide templates, the administrator can place templates in
.the Master System5/Create.cab/Templates.fdr.  Each user will have to
.execute Custom-->Misc-->Update in their Templates.fdr to get these
.new templates.


3.4.5.Changing the color of the desktop

.With the User Interface Painter, you can make your desktop and icons
.any color you want.  You first need to turn on the UI Painter in the
.Custom->ToolMgr.  Then you can select a default color scheme from
.Create->Tools->UIPainter, and modify it if you wish with the color
.editor.  To make the change permanent, copy the UI Painter icon you
.created into your System5--Custom--profile drawer.

.Some users report that use of the UI Painter causes more frequent
.occurrences of SIGSEGV and SIGBUS signals.  Revision Tracking has also
.been blamed for this.

.Interleaf 6.2 for Win95/NT uses the operating system's color scheme
.(accessible through the Control Panel) and does not have a separate
.UI Painter.


3.4.6.Creating color documents

.By default, when you try to Edit->Color, you just get shades of gray.
.You must create any colors you want to use by first going into the
.Palette->Color Editor (document name menu Misc-> pull right menu).
.See your hardcopy Interleaf documentation for details.  These colors
.can be made site-wide by modifing the Master document in the Master
.System5 cabinet.


3.4.7.Creating user-defined patterns
  
.By default, interleaf gives you 16 patterns.  To add to these, use the
.Pallette->Pattern editor.  Again, site-wide patterns should be added
.to the Master document in the Master System5 cabinet.



4..MISC USER QUESTIONS


4.1.How can I print "DRAFT" diagonally across the background of each page?

.Create a frame in a component and designate the placement as "underlay"
.through the frame props.  Enter text string "DRAFT" using ctrl-O,
.convert the text to outline, size it, edit it to a light shade of gray,
.then rotate it.  Make the frame shared content, and set props to
.Repeat=Begin, Anchors_Page=Yes so that it will show up on every page of
.the document.


4.2.Is there any way to rotate microdocuments?

.No.  If you need to rotate text, use ctrl-O text strings (hit ctrl-O
.inside a frame, then enter text).  You can only rotate ctrl-O text
.strings in 90-degree increments.  To get anything else, convert to
.outline.


4.3.How can I search and replace with a tab or hard return? 

.In order to search for, or replace with, a tab or a hard return,
.preface the tab or return key with the Esc key.  (This is the Alt key
.for the IBM RT, and F11 on DEC/Ultrix and VAX/VMS.)


4.4.Can I get international characters on my U.S. based version of
.Interleaf 5?

.Yes, with your cursor in the text area, choose Create->Char, then
.choose the desired font.  Extend the menu and you will see the
.international characters.  You can also get these through keys as
.described in the online document Compose_Sequences under
.System5->Release Notes.


4.5.Will fast startup under Interleaf 5.3 help with performance?

.The fast startup options available under Interleaf 5 (5.3) reduce the
.amount of time it takes to bring up a desktop.  However, once the
.desktop is up, no other performance gains are realized.  Interleaf
.documentation explains the optional fast startup commands available.

.Note two things: (a) fast startup creates a file on your
.desktop about 5mB in size. (b) A substantial amount of system
.state is saved in the fast startup file (that's how it works).
.This often means that under some circumstances you may need to
.remove the file ileaf.fst from your desktop so that it is
.recreated. This is advisable after any new releases of the
.software, of site-wide or individuallly installed
.applications, or in some cases if carelessly written active 
.documents make assumptions about the system state.



4.6.How can I capture popups in Interleaf 5.3 under OpenWindows?

.At the Unix prompt, type
.     % sleep 10; capture
.You'll then have 10 seconds to setup the popup to be captured. The
.capture box will appear and mouse control will be transferred to it.
.The middle button will give choices of Move, Capture, Size and Quit.
.Capture will create an image.img file, placed in your home directory,
.that can be pasted into a document.


4.7.Keyboard types

.If Interleaf won't start with error messages like:
.    In system startup file:
.    Error: Wrong argument type: nil
.    (logand 32767 (x-keycode-to-keysym 12 0))

.then you need to specify your keyboard type with the -keyboard switch:
.    ileaf -keyboard keyboard_type

."none" is a valid keyboard type, but you won't have any key mappings,
.like page-up/page-down.  The choices in 5.3 are:  apollo, aviion, dec,
.hp, rs6000, sun_type3, sun_type4, none.  (The command switches are in
.the System Administration manual.)

.If you have a Sun Type 5 keyboard, you need the "patch tape" which
.brings Interleaf 5.3 to 5.3.1.


4.8.Does Interleaf read this newsgroup?

."Lots of us at Interleaf, from all walks, read the messages.  And we're
.very glad this newsgroup is up and running.  But we also recognize that
.this is a medium for our users, not for Interleaf, Inc.  So, we are
.encouraging Interleafers not to jump into discussions prematurely.  Our
.unofficial policy is that if a Leafer has an answer to a question which
.other users don't appear to be responding to (or if it's a request for
.information that really should be addressed by us), then we'll reply
.privately.  There may, of course, be occasions where a public reply
.makes most sense, so we won't rule that out."


4.9.Why does my tutorial crash?

.Many problems were noticed with the tutorial in v5.2.  Many of these
.were fixed in v5.3.  Paranoid users who wish to run the tutorial might
.want to temporarily rename their desktop directory before running the
.tutorial, and then rename it back when finished.


4.10.Why doesn't Interleaf have an indent command or keystroke?

.It's not appropriate for Interleaf to have a simple indent command.
.Property Sheets are germane to the point of structured document
.editors.  If you "merely" indent without changing the document objects,
.you are essentially imputing structure from format.  This is a Bad
.Thing as it makes it very difficult to edit structure later on.  On the
.other hand, format deduced from structure, as provided by many systems
.with "style sheet"-like mechanisms, is easy to edit.  Also, it does not
.lead to confusion when the format is to be changed.  For a most
.dramatic example, see "Can Structured Formatters Prevent Train
.Crashes?", J.  Andre, Electronic Publishing---Origination,
.Dissemination and Design (EP-ODD), v. 2 #3, pp169-174, October 1989).

.However, it is possible in Interleaf 5 to provide keyboard actions
.which will edit structure as well as content.  Bob Morris has written
.some Lisp which will do this for the indentation toggling problem.
.Contact him at ram@cs.umb.edu for more info.


4.11.Memory leaks

.Interleaf has been known to allocate large amounts of virtual memory
.and never give it back.  If you get an "out of memory" message, try
.exiting Interleaf and trying the operation again.  Users who remain
.logged in for days/weeks/months with Interleaf running the whole time
.exacerbate this problem.  You can use the Unix "pstat -T" command to
.view the amount of virtual memory being used.

.Under HP-UX, use "/etc/swapinfo -t" instead of pstat.  HP-UX has some
.memory leak problems in the vfork() call that can be fixed with kernel
.patch PHKL_0743 for HP-UX 8.07.

.Patch PRA # 93-15 for Interleaf 5.3.1 is available to address memory
.leak problems.  Some sites have already worked around this problem
.by running on workstations with large amounts of memory and swap
.space.


4.12.Runaway processes; exiting Interleaf

.If Interleaf is not exited properly, it may continue to run.  Sun
.OpenWindows users, for example, may logout via the OpenWindows menu's
."Exit".  This will cause Interleaf to continue to run, consuming memory
.and cpu time.


4.13.How do I get a clock permanently on my desktop?

.Copy the Clock.lsp lisp program to your profile drawer.  Any lisp
.programs in your profile drawer will be run every time you start
.Ileaf.

.For Unix types:
.    % cp /interleaf/ileaf5/english.cab/Custom.cab/No_Selection.cab\
.    /Misc.drw/Clock.lsp ~/desktop/System5.cab/Custom.cab/profile.drw

.(note that the above is one line, and that I broke the pathname
.in the middle)

.For Interleaf types:
.    open System5->Custom->No_Selection->Misc
.    copy the Clock lisp icon
.    open System5->Custom->profile
.    paste the Clock lisp icon at the bottom right.

.Lisp hackers can now edit your copy of Clock.lsp, and change the
.font/window size/window postion/etc.


4.14.I created a file in my desktop directory but Interleaf doesn't see it!

.Any files created under your desktop directory by processes other than
.Interleaf (e.g. from a Unix shell prompt) while Interleaf is running
.do not appear as icons.  Conversely, files removed still have icons
.displayed.

.To make newly created files appear, choose Custom->Rescan.  Automatic
.rescan can be set in your profile using the profile tool, but since
.it slows things down it is disabled by default.

.Also use Rescan when removing files, but remember that any FileName.doc
.will have a .@FileName.doc file associated with it for icon
.positioning.  If you don't remove both files, you'll get strange
.behavior later.


4.15.What are all these funny Unix filenames?  What's this Mona Lisa icon?

.If you cd to your desktop directory and do an ls -a, you may see things
.that don't seem to correspond to the icons Interleaf shows you.  These
.are documented on pages 1-6 through 1-8 of the System Administration
.manual, along with the meaning of each type of icon.


4.16.Is there any way to count the number of words in an Interleaf document?

.If you have a lot of documents and want to automate this, you may well
.find it easier and faster to run Unix shell scripts which:
.    1. Run Interleaf in batch mode to make the files interleaf ascii.
.    2. Run textfilt to strip markup.
.    3. Use the Unix wc(1) program to count words.

.Bob Morris has written some Lisp code which will count words.  It may
.or may not be useful to you.  Ask him for details.


4.17.Is there a way to sum up or sort a row or column in a table?

.David Lightman reports that there is a simple Lisp script available
.from the Leafline (q.v.) which sorts a column in ascending ascii.

.Also he has written some Lisp scripts to sum a column (sorry haven't
.done rows), along with changing the attributes of row components based
.on a value you enter (simple database query idea).  Contact him for
.more info.


4.18.Is there a way to view an Interleaf document without starting Ileaf?

.This is what Interleaf's WorldView product can do. (q.v.)


4.19.When I try to fill a box, I get a diagonal line instead!

.This is a bug that occurs when you use "Zoom" (in the pulldown menu
.under the "View" bar just below the filename).  It occurs only when
."View" is different than "x1".  Use "Zoom" for text only.  If you want
.to zoom in on a graphics object, inside the frame use the pullright
.menu option Misc->View->Magnify->Larger.


4.20.Big blank white squares

.On some systems, after you dismiss a menu or other popup over the
.desktop, the space under the menu will remain as a blank white square,
.instead of refreshing.  The fix for this is to edit the .Xdefaults file
.and add:
.    Ileaf.popup.saveUnder:  true
.This behavior seems common on systems running the MIT X11R5
.server. Note that the precise capitalization of the string
.Ileaf.popup.saveUnder is critical.
 


4.21.How do I start a new page with component xyzzy?

.Select the component xyzzy, open its props, and click on Page props.
.Set the start new page to Yes.


4.22.How do I line up columns?  Spaces don't work.

.Use tabs and set the spacing on the Tab Property sheet for the
.component.  You can also use this to align numbers on a decimal
.point.  Better yet, use tables.


4.23.How do I combine two separate documents into one?

.Select the first document and open it.  Select the second document
.and cut it.  Now move to the point in the open document you want to
.place the cut document, and execute paste in the COMPONENT BAR.


4.24.What useful lisp scripts come with Interleaf?

.If your administrator has installed Leafware from the distribution
.tape, you have access to a many UNSUPPORTED lisp scripts.  One that
.may prove useful is keyboard-typo (a better name is auto-quote).
.This automatically puts in an open qoute or close quote as required;
.it also changes the - to a hyphen instead of a minus sign.  Another
.useful script is iconify, which allows you to hide your open document
.window and gives you back your desktop space so you can find another
.document.  There is also a script to mail an ascii stripfiltered
.version of your document to a person you specify.

.Interleaf 6.2 for Win95/NT no longer has the typo script.  It does 
.support some of the script's features in the Tools -> Preferences 
.command (which replaces Interleaf 5's Profile Tool).


4.25.What is "Interleaf-J" ?

.That's the Japanese (kanji) version of Interleaf.  It is reported to
.have slightly greater memory/swap requirements than the English
.version.


4.26.How do I email Interleaf documents?

.There are several ways you can email Interleaf documents:

  .o  If you know the recipient has Interleaf, you can use one 
.   of two methods:
   
    .   - Save the document as Interleaf ASCII, then include it in a 
.     mail file
            
.   - Using OpenLook Mailtool, send the normal (binary) Interleaf
.     document as an attachment.  The mailtool encodes the binary
.     file for you so it mails successfully.  It will complain if 
.     the document is too large.  Also, it must be manually decoded 
.     if the recipient is not working in an Openwindows environment.

.     Refer to the OpenWindows documentation for more information.

.     Note that this only works in OpenWindows version 3, not in
.     version 2.  Version 3 doesn't run on 3/xx machines - it would
.     be safer to stick to ASCII if you're not sure what machine
.     your recipient is using.

.o  If the recipient does not have Interleaf, you can strip the
.   Interleaf document down into a plain ascii file which you can
.   then load into a mail file.  This method is fine if you just
.   want to transfer text, but you lose any graphics in frames.
     
.The instructions below are for people with not much experience at
.using mail, so they're fairly detailed. They also had to cover
.people who don't have workstations, so it includes instructions on
.using the mail program rather than the mailtool.
.
.Sending a Document
.------------------
.To send an Interleaf document through email, follow this procedure. 

.1.  In Interleaf, save the document in ASCII (Save->ASCII)
.
.2.  Mail the ASCII file with one of the following methods:
.
.  a. Redirect the file into the mail message with a single 
.     command. For example, 
.
.     %mail andrew < ~/desktop/whatsup.doc
.
.  b. Enter the mail environment or open a mailtool and then 
.     read in the file. Use this method if you wish to preface or
.     follow the document you are sending with text. For example,

.     In the mail environment:
.       1)  Type mail andrew
.       2)  Enter any required text.
.       3)  Type ~r ~/desktop/whatsup.doc
.       4)  Enter CONTROL D or a period (.) alone on a line 
..   to end the message.
.
.     Using a mailtool (SunView):
.       1)  Press the Compose button to bring up a compose window.
.       2)  Fill in the To, Subject, and Cc fields.
.       3)  Enter any required text..  
.       4)  Read in the document:
..   i. In the message area, type in the pathname of the 
..      document, eg, ~/desktop/whatsup.doc.
..  ii. Highlight the pathname and then execute the 
..      "File->Include File" option on the menu.
.       5)  Hit the Deliver button.
.
.     Using a mailtool (OpenWindows):
.       1)  Press the Compose button to bring up a compose window.
.       2)  Fill in the To, Subject, and Cc fields.
.       3)  Enter any required text..  
.       4)  Load in the document:
..   i. In the message area, execute File > Include file
..  ii. Enter the name of the document in the popup & press
..      the "Include File" button.
.       5)  Hit the Deliver button in the Mailtool to send the mail.

.When the document is inserted into the mail message, it is in 
.ASCII format. The first line is always:
. 
.  <!OPS, Version = 6.4>       (for Interleaf 4 documents)
.  <!OPS, Version = 8.0>       (for Interleaf 5 documents)

.Text preceding this line must be deleted by the recipient before
.the converting the file back to an Interleaf document.

.Receiving a Document
.--------------------
.To convert a file received through mail back into an Interleaf
.document, follow the procedure shown below.

.Using the mail environment:
.
.  1.  Change into your desktop directory and enter the mail 
.      environment.
.  
..andrew% cd ~/desktop
..andrew% mail
.  
.  2.  Save the appropriate mail message into a file. In the
.      following example, the header command lists the headers of
.      a user's mail messages. The user saves message #2 into a
.      file named whatsup.doc.
.  
.      &h
.       U 1 fred@sun1      Fri Jan 19 10:09   41/1043  message from bill
.       >  2 dick          Fri Jan 19 15:37   68/2362  What's Up Doc?
.      &save 2 whatsup.doc
.      "whatsup.doc" [New file] 68/2363
.  
.      If you do a Custom -> Rescan, you will see the Interleaf
.      document icon is now your desktop. DON'T open it yet - goto
.      step 3 below to edit out the mail header and any other extra
.      text first.
  
.Using a mailtool (SunView):

.1.  Open the mailtool and Show the appropriate message.  
.2.  Save the appropriate mail message into a file in your desktop
.    directory. For example, type the following at the mailtool
.    "File:" prompt:

.. ~/desktop/whatsup.doc

.    then hit the Save button. If you do a Custom -> Rescan, you
.    will see the Interleaf document icon is now your desktop.
.    DON'T open it yet - goto step 3 below to edit out the mail
.    header and any other extra text first.

.Using a mailtool (OpenWindows):

.1.  Open the mailtool and View the appropriate message.  
.2.  Save the appropriate mail message into a file in your desktop
.    directory by entering the pathname of the file in the "Mail
.    File" field (e.g. ~/desktop/whatsup.doc) and pressing the "Move"
.    button.

.    If you do a Custom -> Rescan, you will see the Interleaf
.    document icon is now your desktop. DON'T open it yet - goto
.    step 3 below to edit out the mail header and any other extra
.    text first.

.The next four steps are the same whatever mail environment you use.
.
.  3.  In a shell window, edit the file on your desktop.
.  4.  Delete all lines up to the line <!OPS, Version = 8.0>. 
.      This must be the first line of the file in order for it 
.      to convert back to an Interleaf document.
.  5.  Save the file.
.  6.  Back in Interleaf, open the file icon on your desktop. 


4.27.How can I email a Postscript version of an Interleaf doc?

.You create a PostScript version of the document and email that -
.useful if your recipient doesn't have Interleaf but does have a
.PostScript printer.

.Procedure
.---------
.If you don't have Postscript set up as an option on your printer
 .menu, you have to print to Printerleaf then filter the Printerleaf
.to Postscript as follows:
.
.1. Print the document to a Printerleaf file
.   ( Print -> Document -> <Printerleaf> )
.   The Printerleaf file will be placed on your desktop.
.
.2. INTERLEAF 4:
. 
. /interleaf/tps4.0/sysio/ps/pl2ps -T pslw+ < printerleaf_file > ps_file
.
.   INTERLEAF 5:
.
. /interleaf/ileaf5/bin/pl2ps -i printerleaf_file -o ps_file
.
.3. Mail the PostScript file. 
.
.   The recipient must delete everything up to the line 

     .     %!PS-Adobe-


4.28.How do I stop a document from opening once it has started?

        Hit CTRL-G to cancel the open.


4.29.How can I get Revision Bars to stay on when I'm working in 
.a document - I don't want to have to keep turning them on all 
.the time.

.To get Revision Bars to appear wherever you add new text in a
.document, set the text property to "persistent Rev Bars" when you
.first open your document:

. 1. Move the cursor up into the Text properties box in the doc
.    header (probably says something like <Default Text Props> or
.    American-English or at the moment)
.
. 2. Execute Rev Bars -> Persistent from the pulldown menu
.
.This will create a rev bar for every new line of text you write,
.as you write it, even in new components you create.  This is more
.automatic than the old method of turning rev bars ON then typing -
.whenever you moved the text cursor, the rev bars would turn
.themselves off.

.Even with persistent rev bars, they can get turned off if you
.start doing fancy things with text properties, but generally this
.works.

.If you want a record of stuff you remove as well as change and
.add, then you need to look into Revision Tracking, and that's
.another story...


4.30.How do I change the size of the Interleaf desktop on startup?

.The default size of the desktop when you run Interleaf 5 under
.OpenWindows is annoyingly small. You can change the size of the
.window in two ways - using the -geometry startup option or by
.adding a line to your .Xdefaults.

.-geometry startup option
.------------------------
.
./interleaf/ileaf5/bin/ileaf -geometry 1062x869+0+0
.
.This will give you a window the full height of the screen, 
.with an icon-sized gap on the right hand size.

..Xdefaults
.----------
.Add the following line to your $HOME/.Xdefaults file:

   .Ileaf.geometry:.1141x869+0+0

.This makes the desktop window cover the whole screen top to
.bottom, and leaves an icon-width strip down the right-hand side of
.the screen for all your other OpenWindows applications & tools.


4.31.How do I save the state of my desktop from one session to the next 
.(so containers etc are left open)?

.Use the command-line argument -restore when you start up
.Interleaf. This will open the desktop in the state you left it
.at the end of the last session, complete with open containers &
.documents.

.[So long as all open documents are saved, Interleaf should let
.you exit in the normal way. It won't let you exit with unsaved
.open documents - you get the message "Cannot Exit the desktop
.until you Save or Close these documents".  So all you do is
.save without closing, then exit.]


5..Platform-Specific questions


5.1.DEC VMS

.Note: Most of this information can be found in the RELEASE NOTES.


5.1.1.What are the most common issues users encounter when installing and
.configuring Interleaf 5 on DEC VMS?

.To install Interleaf 5, a minimum of 20K free disk blocks is required
.on the system disk.  This is used as temporary file storage in
.SYS$UPDATE during VMSINSTAL.  This is temporary file storage, not
.permanent.  Should the installation fail due to insufficient disk space
.on the system disk, some files may be left kicking around in
.SYS$UPDATE.  These should be deleted prior to rerunning VMSINSTAL.

.In some cases, Interleaf 5 gets installed with incorrect file
.ownerships and file protections.  The installation procedure attempts
.to set the file ownership to SYSTEM.  This will fail if the identifier
.[SYSTEM] does not exist.  This can be fixed by setting the files
.ownership to [1,4], and resetting file protections to WORLD
.READ/EXECUTE.  For example:
..$ SET FILE/OWNER=[1,4]/PROT=W:RE disk:[dir...]*.*;*

.If the Interleaf top level home directory is created prior running
.VMSINSTAL, WORLD protections must be set to READ/EXECUTE.

.If running TPS4 and Interleaf 5 concurrently, do not change the IWS
.symbol definition for Interleaf 5 as this is called for other routines
.such as PRINTER_INSTALL and LICENSE_INSTALL.

.Do not install FMU in the Interleaf 5 hierarchy.  This will cause
.problems with LICENSE_INSTALL and possibly other routines.


5.1.2.What can I do to increase the performance of Interleaf 5 under VMS?

.Some performance gains can be acquired by properly tuning the system.
.Adjusting working sets so that the Interleaf user has access to all
.available free memory can help.  This can be done by doing the
.following:

.Run WSMAX.COM to find out how large the SYSGEN parameter WSMAX can be
.set.
.    $ @IWS5$BIN:WSMAX
.Add the value that WSMAX.COM provided to MODPARAMS.DAT

.    $ SET DEFAULT SYS$SYSTEM:
.    $ EDIT MODPARAMS.DAT
.(add or modify the value of MIN_WSMAX to the one provided by WSMAX.COM)

.Modify the UAF records for the Interleaf user(s) by setting their
.WSEXTENT to be equal to the value supplied by WSMAX.COM

.    $ RUN AUTHORIZE
.    UAF> MODIFY user/WSEXT=XXXXX !where user = the Interleaf username
..and XXXXX = WSMAX
.    UAF> EXIT

.Now run Autogen to set the SYSGEN param WSMAX and reboot
.    $ @SYS$UPDATE:AUTOGEN SAVPARAMS SETPARAMS
.    $ @SYS$SYSTEM:SHUTDOWN
.When the system comes back up, these changes should be in place.


5.2.DOS

5.2.1.How is the performance of Interleaf on the DOS platform?

.One may assume that since Interleaf is often slow on a workstation,
.it must be unbearable on a DOS machine.  "Not so!", say the DOS
.Interleaf users.  Bob Morris reports that his 33mHz 486 with 8MB
.memory and a 12ms IDE disk is faster than his SPARCstation 1.
.Note that most workstation users have to deal with multitasking
.operating systems that do not dedicate 100% of their cycles to
.running Interleaf, plus they often NFS-mount the executables and/or
.the data.  A workstation with a fast local disk would be a different
.story.


5.2.2.How can I run stuff from the command line under DOS?

.With I5 DOS all of the filters and print programs are implemented as
.Dynamic Link Libraries (DLL's).  This means that the command line
.invocation requires a slight twist.  All of the same I5 programs exist
.(pl2ps for example) but have an extension of ".i5".  These files must
.be run from the command line with the loader "i5load.exe".  The way to
.run the filters is then (while cd'd to \ileaf5\bin):

    C:\ILEAF5\BIN> I5LOAD PL2PS.I5 -v -ppd NULL.PPD -i docname.pl -o docname.ps



6.0.Interleaf 6

.Interleaf 6.0 offers very little absolute new functionality
.over Interleaf 5. The release is mainly intended to offer a
.system more easily used by people familiar with X-windows and
.Microsoft Windows.

.A brief personally edited list of some typical differences,
.written by Bob Morris, follows.  For how to get more detailed
.information, see the Appendix below.

.a. The UI is conformant to Motif and incorporates some Windows
.   features.

.b. Multiple property sheets can be open at one time.

.c. Online documentation is hypertext, based on WorldView.

.d. Search and Replace is improved.

.e. Editable text can be rotated 90 degrees.

.f. Initial content of componets can call Lisp functions for
.   computationally determined content, e.g. the current date.

.g. Printer administration is simplified.


7.0.Cyberleaf

.Cyberleaf is an Interleaf product for the creation and
.management of Webs in the WorldWide Web.  It translates
.to HTML (the WWW format) from several popular formats,
.including WordPerfect 5.x, Microsoft Word 6.0, Interleaf,
.plain text, and (without change) HTML.  The software allows
.a point-and click creation of hypertext links, translates
.links from those source documents which support them, and
.arranges for the deposit of the resulting Web in a
.specified location.  Styles in the input document can be
.mapped to particular HTML styles at the choice of the user.

.The Unix version of Cyberleaf 1.0 was released in
.February, 1995.  Requirements:

..Sun Sparc2/IPX (or greater)
..under Sun OS 4.1.x, or Solaris 2.x
..24mB RAM, 65mB disk, 64mB swap

7.1.Cyberleaf + Interleaf 6.2

.A package bundling Cyberleaf 2.0 for Windows NT/95 and Interleaf 
.6.2 for Windows NT/95 is available from Interleaf.


8.0.Intellecte/BusinessWeb

.Intellecte/BusinessWeb is an application template that

.The files are either downloaded to the user's disk or
.viewed in a helper application.

.code and HTML files shipped with BusinessWeb to create a

.RDM repository from their browser, but also check new
.files in.
