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

Problem

Symptoms: If you print a file from List Files and then quickly delete the file, you will get a "File Not Found" error. The customer felt that there should be a way to restrict deletion until the file had finished printing. Solutions: According to Development, if you tell WP to print a file and then delete it before it prints, you deserve to get "File Not Found" errors. If you delete it while it is printing, then all kinds of strange things could happen, most of which are DOS' fault. Having SHARE loaded would probably prevent these problems. To always copy the file to a temporary print file would penalize all users because printing from disk would slow the program down for everyone. This isn't worth the trade-off. Having Fast Save set to Yes will reduce the problems because WP does create a temporary print file in this case.
