In the vp/ix docs it says that (DOS) WordPerfect 5.0 runs. We have tried installing WordPerfect *5.1* under vp/ix update 1.1.1. The install process goes fine, but as soon as we run the program, it says "Cannot find WP.FIL file". The only thing that gets us out of there is Ctrl-Alt-Del. The file WP.FIL *does* exist on the installed directory (U:\WP51), and we can read and write to it. Surely no incompatibilities have arisen from WP5.0 to WP5.1 ??! Please mail me any answers/ideas, and I'll post a follow-up if necessary. --------------------------------------------------------------- Hendrik Vermooten, ZEUS software Bang: ..!uunet!ddsw1!olsa99!zeusa!hendrik or hendrik@zeusa.UUCP ---------------------------------------------------------------

For the umpteenth time:
No WP 5.0 will not function right unless it and all your data files
are placed on a real live DOS partition. Actually, you might get
it to work on simple files BUT it will croak on complex documents.
Complex means if you gots a graphic or text box in it.
