The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The customer cannot start WordPerfect 5.1 DOS from the OS/2 DOS compatibility box 1.21 (Intel) syslevel = 472. When starting from the command prompt, the hard drive light would flicker and then the DOS box would lock and return control to OS/2. Solutions: Although the OS/2 DOS Compatibility Box was created with the purpose of running DOS applications under the OS/2 environment in mind, it is not completely compatible with all DOS applications. WPCorp has created an OS/2 specific product and supports it on that platform. WPCorp also supports the DOS based applications in a true DOS environment but cannot support it in the OS/2 environment.
