[comp.os.msdos.apps] .FRS files in WP

jdb@reef.cis.ufl.edu (Brian K. W. Hook) (03/03/91)

These annoying as hell IBM{WP}.FRS files keep popping up in my current
directory every time I run WP and I want them GONE!!!  What's the deal
with these things?  This is WP 5.1 and I never had this problem before!

Someone had the IBM{WP}.FRS showing up when he ran Wp 5.1....

Well, I don't know to be honest, but it seems to be a File ReSource error or
something. Mayeb you should try increase buffer=.. or files=... Or it could
be a Font ReSource thing. Are you using any softfonts? Or other downloadable
things in your docs? Do you use special things for your printer or
something? That's the only thing I can think of. Actually I would guess it
has something to do with Fonts. Do you have any catridges or so..?

Check and see...Maybe look at the file with Norton's or so...just to see
what's in it...You never know....:-)

Good luck, and tell me what you found if you solve it!

Chris.

To get rid of all *.FRS files, you need a program like Lotus Magellan,
or a similar program.

You can then explore for all *.frs files and delete them.
