WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: Some customers have experienced problems with their systems locking while using WordPerfect under OS/2's DOS Compatibility Box. One customer could start WordPerfect without a problem. He could also exit WordPerfect by pressing Alt and Esc. The system would lock, however, when he tried to re-enter WordPerfect. This problem appears to happen on any DOS product which is under OS/2 version 1.2 or 1.3. To fix the problem, a default setting in OS/2's CONFIG.SYS file needs to be changed. The statement MEMMAN=SWAP,MOVE,SWAPDOS should be changed to MEMMAN=SWAP,MOVE,NOSWAPDOS.
