[comp.sys.mac.apps] WP 2.0 export to ACCESS PC DOS disk

dhoyman@fammed.wisc.edu (04/26/91)

I have a problem when I try to use WordPerfect 2.0 and export (save) a WP 5.1
format file to an MS-DOS format disk mounted under AccessPC. When I do this the
entire file appears to be written (as seen in the fill bar) and then an "End of
file reached" message box appears.  No file can be found in the DOS disk.

We can successfully do this operation by writing the file first to a Mac disk
(the internal hard disk) and then copying it in the Finder.

The reverse process works fine, that is importing a WP 5.1 file from a DOS disk
into WP 2.0.

Is this a bug (or a feature ;-))?
