List Files Slow - Try /W If Expanded Memory B |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: With long document names as the default, when going into List Files it takes an extremely long time. He has a files directory with 204 WP data files and it takes 2 min. and 10 seconds to list the files. Solutions: If the customer has expanded memory and it is working fine with 5.1, enter WP with the /W startup switch and for the conventional memory amount put in 120,*. WordPerfect 5.1 will use all of the available conventional memory if the /W switch is not used. He only has 94K available to work with and listing 204 files in long display with 94K to use will take that long. If he has any TSR's running take them out to allow WP the maximum amount of conventional memory available. The /W switch should take care of the problem for you. He may need to play with the values to get the desired speed. |
