WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: The customer was on Novell 286, version 2.15c, running WordPerfect 5.1. He was trying to start WordPerfect from his data directory (H:\WPDATA), and was getting the error messages, "Access Denied -- WPxxx{.BV1" and "No Room On WP Disk To Retrieve Text -- WPxxx{.SPC." He had full rights and there were no .BV1 files in the directory. This happened no matter what initials he typed in. From the main WordPerfect directory (in which he had the same rights) he could start WP without a problem. His problem had to do with the number of directory entries Novell had allocated for that volume. When he did a CHKVOL he found that, although he had almost 80 megabytes of free disk space, he was down to only three directory entries left. Drive F: (where the main WP directory was located) was mapped to another volume, which is why he had no problem there. To fix the problem he had to either increase the directory entries through Novell or delete a number of files. (Note: This is only applicable to Novell version 2.x.). See memo WP51_4450M for more information on the "Access Denied" message.
