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

Problem

Symptoms: With Location of Files set to the a: drive, when the user prints a file from the screen, WordPerfect writes a file to disk on the "a:" drive. This is because our default directory is the "a:"drive. The temporary print file should go to the place where the location of auxiliary files has been assigned. The /d-c:\wp51 does move our virtual files. It does not change the location of the temporary print file. This causes problems, especially if the floppy "a:" drive is almost full. Solutions: This problem should be fixed in the next interim release by adding a new start up option. Please watch for additional information in the next set of Software Change Notices (after 1/19/90). The new startup option should be: /pf=path. This path will be where the print document file will be written (when you queue up a print job, the temporary document that is created). This will be most useful for network users (their print files can be written to their local hard disk to speed up printing, or for users whose document default directory is on a floppy disk). If the /pf option is not used, the temporary print document will be written to the document default directory (if you press F5 for list files, it is the default directory that is listed. PLEASE REMEMBER, this new startup option cannot be confirmed until the next interim release actually ships.
