WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The customer is not able to get WordPerfect 5.1 to run correctly on a PC MOS 4.1 network. The screen does not rewrite completely after using List Files. This also happens occasionally after using Reveal Codes. Solutions: This is currently an unsupported environment. The operating system is not a true network. It is actually a multitasker that does CPU sharing and time-slicing. The customer can use the /NF and /MONO startup options. This will change the way WP executes on the terminal. The /NF option is defined as "no flash," and prevents WP from checking the BIOS for display information. This will slow down the screen rewrites. The /MONO startup options forces WP to use the display drivers associated with monochrome graphic and text displays rather than color displays. This may improve WordPerfect 5.1's performance in this environment. *This information is given strictly as a troubleshooting option.
