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

Problem

Symptoms: The PCFormat program (from PCTools 7.0) will not work if the user tries to shell out of WordPerfect 5.1. Solutions: With PCTools 7.0, 19 programs are compressed with PKLite. This allows the file to take up a minimal amount of space on the hard drive, and the file will uncompress into memory. The PCFormat program takes about 170K of memory, even though the disk space is about 83K. The 170K amount is too large an amount of memory to uncompress the PCFormat program when shelled out of WP. The PCTools program version 7.1 will give the user a "Not Enough Memory" error if there is not enough memory to uncompress the PCFormat file.
