DocumentID: 651546

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

Problem

Symptoms: When the customer is in WP and he tries to save or copy to the B drive, he gets a write protect error. He can copy to the B drive at DOS, and in other programs, but not in WP. We booted vanilla and narrowed the problem to an "APPEND C:\DOS" command and a resident program called PC Quick listed in his AUTOEXEC.BAT. When we took these out we were able to save to the B drive in WP. The customer has a Zeos 386 computer, DOS 4.01, and a NEC MultiSync 3D monitor. Solutions: Both PC Quick and the DOS APPEND command seem to cause the customer problems. Only when both are removed does WP function properly.
Folio contains information about the DOS APPEND command that indicates problems such as this should be written up as enhancement requests. Programmers can then consider adding a startup option or setup function for the APPEND command to the program.
