Error: Disk Full Changes Status Line And Says

WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: I retrieve a file from my C: drive (so the filename is displayed on the status line), make editing changes, then try to save (F10) the file to a floppy disk that does not have enough room for the file. I get an "Error: Disk is Full--Press any key to continue". When I press a key, the filename on the status line is changed to the A:\FILENAME that I just tried to save. If I then press F7, it gives the A:\FILENAME and says that the "Text has not been modified" (even though the editing changes were never actually saved to the C: or A: drive). If I then exit the file, the filename is not listed on a directory of the A: drive. It is very deceptive to have the new filename on the status line and the message that the text has not been modified. Solutions: This should be fixed on the release of WP 5.1 that follows the 3/30 release. Please watch Software Change Notices for this fix.
