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

Problem

Symptoms: A customer was running WordPerfect 5.1 under Windows 3.0 and was also using RPRINTER on a network. RPRINTER allows a printer that is attached to a local workstation to function as a network printer on a Novell network. When the customer was in WP 5.1 at a station, and other users would send print jobs to the printer, he would get the following message on the screen: "WordPerfect Is Trying To Use A Port That Windows Has Control Of, Do You Want To Return Control To Windows Y/N?" If he was in a Windows application when the job was sent from another station the error did not appear. Solutions: The customer edited the .PIF file for WP 5.1 and changed the execution to Exclusive. This corrected the error.
