WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: The DOS ATTRIB Command allows a user to assign or display file attributes. This can be very useful for users who wish to prevent inadvertent deletion or modification of a file or files by flagging the file(s) as Read Only. The syntax for displaying the current attributes is ATTRIB Using the ATTRIB command to check the attributes of files being accessed by a user can be an important troubleshooting tool. For example, one user with soft fonts on a laser printer was unable to access the soft fonts on the hard drive. The fonts printed fine one day, but the next day the user received the message "File Not Found" when downloading the fonts. The user had not changed the path to the fonts (Shift-F7, S, 3, 7), nor had the user moved the fonts. It turned out that the user had changed the font files to Read Only. Changing the files back to Read Write using the -R qualifier with ATTRIB solved the problem. |
