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

Problem

Symptoms: Does WPCorp support running WordPerfect with DR DOS? What Is DR DOS? How do you troubleshoot DR DOS? Solutions: The answer is simple; operators and specialists are here to help the customer. DR DOS is an operating system similar to MS DOS and PC DOS. It boots and runs the same way. The only difference is that DR DOS includes third-party programs such as Superpck (a program used for hard drive caching that is similar to SMARTDrive), Superstor (a hard drive compression utility similar to Stacker), and EMM386.EXE (a memory manager similar to QEMM).

When troubleshooting with DR DOS, please be aware of the following:
1.      When DR DOS is running with HISTORY=ON, CURSOR.COM will not change the cursor. For more information see Folio memo ALL_11434G.
2.      When you have a customer boot vanilla, don't forget to keep C:\SSTORDRV.SYS in the CONFIG.SYS.
