WordPerfect® 6.0 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: Can the WordPerfect 6.0 for DOS Mail feature mail a document with a DOS e- mail program that supports VIM or MAPI? In WP 6.0, a customer wants to use the feature to mail the current document as a message, (Ctrl+F1, 7 or 8 if running WP under Shell 4.0). The feature was grayed out (dimmed). Solutions: No, WordPerfect 6.0 for DOS will currently only mail a document with Office 4.0. How/Why: Two things must be present in order for this feature to work. 1. The location of OF.EXE (the Office 4.0 executable file) must be in your DOS path. If WP can't find OF.EXE in the path, then the option will be grayed out. 2. The WPHOST.DB must be in your DOS path. Otherwise, when WP tries to launch OF.EXE, an error "WPHOST.DB Not Found, Include In Path" will display. Under a normal installation, the WPHOST.DB will be in the post office directory, but the OF.EXE will be in a subdirectory of the post office called OFDOS40. In this case, both the OFDOS40 and the post office directory must be in the path in order to use the Mail The Current Document option. WordPerfect 6.0 for DOS cannot mail a message from Office 3.1.
