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

Problem

Symptoms: The customer is trying to run WordPerfect with the following startup options: /32/R/W=*,*/WS. When using these options, the expanded memory workspace displays as 2432K whether the customer has used the /R option or not. If the customer uses /R, shouldn't the program show that the expanded memory available is less than 2432K? The customer is using a BOCA RAM AT+ expanded memory board. Solutions: The /WS option displays the amount of memory that is available to WP at the time the program is started. The /WS option is read by the program first, and then the /R option is used to load the WP.FIL into expanded memory. This means that the amount of expanded memory will not include the amount needed to load the WP.FIL file, since the file has not been loaded at the time the program uses the /WS option.
