The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The customer had the original release (11/06/89) of WordPerfect 5.1 and received the update. The customer installed the program onto their network using both the update and network options in the install program. The release date showing on the Help screen still shows 11/06/89. The .EXE file in the WP directory is dated 01/19/90. Solutions: Novell version 2.0 doesn't give an error message when writing over a Read Only file. When the customer installed WP, it changed the date on the WP.EXE file but it hadn't actually installed the newer release. To install WP correctly, the customer flagged the WP files as Shareable Read Write and ran the install program again and then it showed the correct dates.
