"Divide Overflow" Error Viewing Graphics File

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

Problem

Symptoms: The error "Divide Overflow" appears when a user views some WordPerfect graphics files in List Files. This problem only occurs when an extended text driver (132x?) is selected in Setup. CHKBOX-1.WPG, which ships with WP 5.1, and BRSH-BDR.WPG, which ships with the Holiday Pack are two graphics that will cause this problem. This problem occurs when the customer uses a macro to view graphic files by bringing them into a User Box. The macro, looks at the highlighted file to determine if the cursor is on a graphic, or if it is on the Current or Parent line in List Files. When the user selects the CHKBOX-1.WPG file, the "Divide Overflow" error occurs and the macro terminates. Solutions: There are two work arounds for this situation:
1.      Edit the macro to choose an 80 column display driver while running the macro and then have it switch back when the macro ends.
2.      Edit the macro so that it assigns the current item being highlighted to a variable using the {System}entry~ command then checks to see if the variable equals "Current" or "Parent" instead of checking whether the cursor is on the Current or Parent entries by pressing Enter and checking the system menu. If the variable does equal "Current" or "Parent", the macro will give the "Invalid Selection" message.
