Moving from someWHAT to WHAT

If you been using the someWHAT demo version of WHAT and have then purchased the full product, you have choices of how to make the transition. You will get an e-mail message presenting you with an authorization key which you will use when setting up the full version. You should proceed following either one of the following possible scenarios:

1. If you have Internet access on your computer, we suggest you make a completely fresh restart with WHAT. Otherwise, proceed to step 2.
   Complete steps 1.A and then 1.B:
   1. Follow either one of the following two possible starting steps (1.A.1 or 1.A.2):
      1. First get rid of the installed someWHAT on your computer by removing WHAT. Left click the Start button on your computer's toolbar (usually at the lower left of your screen), and then choose Settings and Control Panel. In the Control Panel, double-click Add/Remove Programs. Left click the WHAT listing and then click the Change/Remove button.
      or
      2. Delete all files and folders in the WHAT program directory, which by default is located at: C:\Program Files\WHAT
   2. Web browse page: http://wolfberg.net/what/purchase. Near the beginning of that page, in the section entitled "If You Have Already Purchased WHAT", click on the Download button. You will then be led through the steps of getting the WHAT distribution and getting authorization to run it on your computer. You will be all set with the fully functional WHAT.

2. If you do not have Internet access on your computer, or if you choose not to use it, you can make changes to files you already have.
   1. Start up WHAT by double-clicking the icon on your desktop labelled "WHAT using TWL98". You will be shown a yellow dialog where you may provide your authorization key. Do that, and follow instructions. Eventually you will also get a password required to complete your authorization to run WHAT on your computer. Once you have completed that step, you are finished with authorization.
   2. You have more work to do to get WHAT's initialization files changed so that it uses the full lexicons instead of the small demo lexicons. These full lexicons are already on your computer, since they came along with the someWHAT distribution, but you need to alter WHAT's initialization files to have it use these lexicons. There are two ways you can do this (the 2.B.1 series of steps or the 2.B.2 series of steps). We recommend the first way (the 2.B.1 series), especially since you may want to customize other settings for other reasons as you become more familiar with WHAT.
      1. Use these steps to have WHAT make new initialization files for you:
         1. Start up WHAT using TWL98. You are warned that the primary and secondary lexicons are not available. This is not a problem. In the upper right part of the WHAT window select the Lexicons tab, and then click on the Change Lexicon(s) button. Notice TWL98 is already selected as the primary lexicon. Select OWL2 as the secondary lexicon. Click OK.
         2. Menu pick File->Make a New Initialization File... A dialog comes up with many choices. In the first column in the second last box labelled "Chosen Lexicons and Secondary Lexicon Indicator" select the second choice which is "Update with current settings". Click OK, and you will be told you have created a new what.ini file.
         3. Start up WHAT using OWL2. You are warned that the primary and secondary lexicons are not available. This is not a problem. In the upper right part of the WHAT window select the Lexicons tab, and then click on the Change Lexicon(s) button. Change the primary lexicon to be OWL2 and the secondary lexicon to be TWL98.
         4. In the upper box labelled "Identify Secondary Lexicon Words with a Suffix Character" select the middle of the three buttons instead of the already selected lower button. Notice the chosen suffix character is a plus sign, which we like, but you are welcome to use a different character if you prefer. Click OK.
         5. Menu pick File->Make a New Initialization File... A dialog comes up with many choices. In the first column in the second last box labelled "Chosen Lexicons and Secondary Lexicon Indicator" select the second choice which is "Update with current settings". Click OK, and you will be told you have created a new what2.ini file.
         6. You are all done. The next time you run WHAT you will be working with the correct lexicons.
      or
      2. Use these steps to edit WHAT initialization files directly. Use a text editing program of your choice, perhaps Notepad, which comes with MS Windows.
         1. Edit initialization file what.ini in your WHAT installation directory, which is by default: C:\Program Files\WHAT
            Change the fifth line from
            5 11 0 *
            to
            1 9 0 *
         2. Edit initialization file what2.ini in your WHAT installation directory, which is by default: C:\Program Files\WHAT
            Change the fifth line from
            11 5 -1 *
            to
            9 1 -1 +
         3. You are all done. The next time you run WHAT you will be working with the correct lexicons.
