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

Problem

Symptoms: The customer creates a document on one computer, saves it on a floppy disk, and then takes it to another computer for editing changes and for printing. She pulls up the document on the second computer, makes editing changes, and saves and replaces the already existing file. She then takes the file back to the original computer and pulls up the file, but it is the original version, not the edited version. The only way that she has been able to get the edited file up on the original computer was by exiting WordPerfect and rebooting. Solutions: This problem should be fixed with the next release (after 03/30/90). It has to do with long document names. The problem is with WordPerfect's disk caching. Switching a floppy for another floppy with a file of the same name fooled the disk caching routine.
