WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: With some printer drivers in WordPerfect 5.1, Line Draw characters are created graphically. For this reason, it is important to include the WP.DRS file when running the WP 5.1 Install program. If this file is not installed the Line Draw will not view (nor will anything else) or print correctly. If the user does not feel they have room on their system for the graphic drivers, suggest they install them to a floppy and then copy the WP.DRS file to their hard drive. If possible, the user may also wish to clear up some space on the hard drive. For additional information, please see page 989 - Appendix Q in the WordPerfect 5.1 manual One customer could not view the Line Draw characters. The customer found that the WP.DRS file was dated 12/12/88 and came from WP 5.0. The program accessed the WPSMALL.DRS file (which cannot display the Line Draw characters) because the WP 5.0 WP.DRS file could not be accessed by the WP 5.1 program. When the user installed the WP.DRS file from WP 5.1, the problem did not occur.
