WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: A third party program called Cubit automatically re-compresses and decompresses files that have been manually compressed the first time as they are retrieved and saved. When you switch to Long Display in List Files and then list the files in a subdirectory that contains compressed files, Cubit automatically starts to decompress all compressed files in that directory. Solutions: We received Cubit 3.01 and duplicated this problem. However, both programs are functioning as documented. WP stores the long names within the document. For that reason, when we briefly access the document to check for a long name, Cubit decompresses the file. This only occurs if Cubit is resident and active. If the customer uses the cubits/off (which causes the program to become inactive) prior to loading WP, then there will be no decompression when using Long Display. In the Cubit manual, p. 3-18, it states that decompression will occur when a program calls a file when Cubit is resident. The problem can also be avoided by using Short Display in WP.
