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

Problem

Solutions: You can run Bookshelf with WordPerfect 5.1 in 640K of RAM. If you get an "Insufficient Memory" message when trying to run WordPerfect with Bookshelf, you must edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files so they contain only commands to run the CD-ROM drive and WordPerfect. Anything else must be commented out while using Bookshelf and WordPerfect. WordPerfect requires a minimum of 512K of RAM to run, and Bookshelf uses approximately 134K running with the 2.x extensions.

For Bookshelf to paste correctly into WordPerfect, you need to order the Word/WordPerfect Compatibility Extension by calling Microsoft Customer Service.

Note: You can include your mouse driver in the AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS file if you use a mouse. The following is an "Ideal" AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
ECHO OFF
PATH=C:\BKSHLF;
SET CDPATH=C:\BKSHLF;f:\SOFTWARE;f:\BOOK
SET CDRAM=

Note: F: is the drive letter of the CD-ROM drive.

The following is an "Ideal" CONFIG.SYS file:
FILES=20
BUFFERS=20
DEVICE=C:\CDROM\CDROM.SYS

Note: CDROM.SYS is the name of your CD-ROM device driver.
