WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The customer experienced problems when naming or renaming a file to a DOS name. When the customer tried naming a newly created file to PRN.1PF she got the error message, "Error: End Of File." And when the customer tried in List Files to rename an existing file to PRN.1 the printer started printing garbage, and then in a moment the file was gone (deleted). The steps to duplicate this problem are as follows: go into List Files (F5), highlight a document, choose 3 for Rename, and enter PRN.1 for the new name; at this point the printer will promptly begin printing garbage (starting with WPCG or WPCB) and then the file that you were renaming is completely gone! Solutions: Development is aware of this problem. Changes have been made to the program which will begin to ship in the next interim release of after 12/31/90. Please watch for the SCNs.
