Does anyone out there know how to get Wordperfect 5.1 (for dos) to
PRINT properly from VP/ix on an ESIX system? I really want to sell
my other PC, but can't until I get this to work. Any help would
be appreciated.
The symptoms now are that I get lots of blank lines on the printout
instead of the actual file.

Please bear with....and all that. I ain't sure what "Esix" is, but I have vpix running under AT&T (Oh boy) SYSV-386 and had the same problem with WP(5.1). (Except I got "random" cntrl- chars, mostly @'s 'n such) It seems that WP (or vpix) has problems interpreting files retrieved from the "UNIX-psuedo" drives. Doing all WP-work (i.e. saving/retrieving files) from one of vpix's psuedo drives (C:, D: - UNIX *files*) solves this problem nicely. Hope this helps. (This resolution was NOT obtained from Ma-Bell (AT&T), they were more annoyed than helpfull concerning my problem) * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Brian L.
