Explanation And Suggestions For "Not Enough R |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: Users may receive the "Not Enough Room" error message for one of two reasons: 1. They've run out of room in the directory where the virtual files are created. 2. The file is damaged. The primary reason why the file is damaged is actually a problem with DOS, where during the last saving process of the file the default disk ran short on disk space. At this point, DOS should have set a carry flag during the save process, but didn't. The result is a pasted over file or a type of concatenation. Usually the graphics portion of the file is damaged regardless of whether the file has any graphics in it at all. In the WordPerfect 5.1 12/31/90 release, the program checks for sufficient disk space before saving to prevent this DOS problem. Files that are already damaged are not easily fixed, unless the user sends them into Customer Support. Operators turning in such files should use the "Not Enough Room" keyword in the STR3 database. To date, the files that have trickled in which give this error since the 12/31/90 release were usually created in prior releases of WP 5.1. Or they were not damaged in the same way and typically indicate that the user's local PC/AT environment is the problem. However, as always, WPCorp is open for any new problems that the users can duplicate, so that WPCorp can either fix their system or determine if the software has a problem. Once the file becomes damaged in this way and the user later attempts to retrieve it, WP code tries to determine the space needed for virtual files and finds that the graphics portion of the file is close to 4 gigabytes (due to the nature of the damage). Therefore, the user gets the "Not Enough Room" error. There are some methods that many have found to temporarily fix the file for users in a bind which alter the document to some degree. If users have time, they are welcome to send the file(s) in to have them repaired to the extent that there is data to repair. |
