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

Problem

Solutions: WordPerfect can be installed and executed from a RAM disk. A RAM disk is memory that is treated as a disk drive. To run WP from the RAM drive, users should copy WP.FIL to the RAM drive, then start WordPerfect with WP/D-. Some RAM drives allow users to permanently copy files on them and some may only be temporary. If the RAM drive is temporary, users should copy the WP.FIL file in each time they reboot the computer. Users can also install WP from a RAM drive. To do this, users should copy the WP master disks into the RAM drive. They should then run a Custom Installation and specify the RAM drive designation as the source of the files.
