WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: If a customer modifies a file, and saves it, it replaces the original. The customer then wants to save the original file rather than writing over it. Solutions: If the customer has Novell and was saving the file in a network directory, there is a way to get the original file back. When users replace a file in WordPerfect, WP first creates a backup, saves the newly changed file, and then deletes the backup. The customer can use the SALVAGE utility of Novell to retrieve the deleted file. The customer should follow these steps: 1. Go to the directory where the file existed 2. Type SALVAGE 3. Press Enter twice. There should be a .BK! file on the list of deleted files. 4. Highlight the .BK! file, press Enter and answer Yes. 5. Press Escape until you get back to DOS and then go into WP and retrieve the BK! file.
