WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: When a customer saved a file, retrieved the file, and then saved the file again (without making any changes to the file), the file size changed. Solutions: This occurred because the default setting for the Fast Save option is Yes. When a customer saves a file, WP does not purge or clean out old prefix information in the file until after the third time the customer saves the file. If the customer sets the Fast Save option to No, the file size should remain relatively consistent. If the customer saves a blank document with Fast Save set to No, retrieves the file, and then saves the file again, the file size shouldn't change. However, if the customer saves a blank document with Fast Save set to Yes, retrieves the file, and then saves the file again, the file size will increase because WP does not purge the old prefix information.
