Saving Files In DOS |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: When saving a file at DOS or in any program, the file is saved in two ways. The file information is saved to disk and the location of the file is saved to the File Allocation Table (FAT). It is the FAT table that keeps track of the bytes in a file. So, if the file can be seen at DOS, but has 0 bytes, for some reason the location of the file was not saved to the FAT table. Some of the reasons for this problem could be a glitch occurring during the save process ,the system locked during the save process, static shock, or the actual program could be damaged or not working correctly. There are DOS utility programs on the market that will indicate what files have been saved to disk, but do not have a location in the FAT table. These programs can at times also write the location of the file to the FAT table, if specified. |
