WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: When running WordPerfect on an IBM PC LAN, users will intermittently receive the errors "Disk Error 36," and "Disk Error 25." The problem cannot be duplicated at will. Solutions: The suspected cause for these errors was that the number of maximum of active locks for shared files had been exceeded. When this happens, the file server gets very busy trying to process all the requests, and some requests are ignored. When they are ignored, the station may break the connection, thus causing "Disk Error 55." This is a parameter that is set in the batch file that boots the file server. By using the options /D-C: /PF-C:, the customer was able to reduce the occurrences of the error messages. This is partially because the number of files being opened on the file server was greatly reduced when they started opening more files on local devices. The parameter itself is /SHL:100. The 100 represents the actual number of locks. It can range anywhere from 20 to 1000. Increasing the number of locks may reduce or eliminate this error also.
