WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The user is unable to use the /R option. He has 1 meg of memory on the motherboard and an additional 1 meg on an Everex RAM 3,000 Deluxe. The motherboard has 640K conventional memory and 384K extended memory and the card is set for 640K of expanded and 384K extended. WPINFO recognizes 640K total conventional, 534 available, and 640K expanded memory. When we start WP and shell out WPINFO recognizes 640 total conventional, 133 available and 640K expanded with 576 available. If we attempt to start WP with the /R, he received the error message, "Not Enough Expanded Memory To Use The /R Option", but it does allow him to enter WP. Solutions: He needs at least 708k of expanded memory to load /R with the 3-30-90 interim release. The amount of memory needed may slightly change with every interim release. In the initial release of WP 5.1, you needed about 500-600k, but with subsequent interim releases the amount has grown to 708k.
