Problem

Symptoms: Files are deleted when a user prints them from List Files. Solutions: When a user prints from List Files, the files being printed are only opened, scanned, and closed. WP performs this via interrupt 21h, functions 3D, 42, and 3E respectively. These function calls do not allow for deletions, or modifications to a file. This could only be affected on a hardware or operating system level where the incorrect file handle was not being controlled correctly. The customer was offered the following workaround: If the document files are located in the customer's own directory, the ATTRIB command can be used in the directory to make all files Read-Only. (i.e., C:\DOCS>ATTRIB +R *.*).
