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

Problem

Symptoms: A customer was trying to run WordPerfect in a DOS window under OS/2 by invoking WP from a command line. No startup options (switches) were used. The user receives "Error: Incorrect Format Or File Not Found: WP0000.WCP," which means it is looking for a code page numbered 0. Once this message is cleared, the program loads correctly. Solutions: The customer's CONFIG.SYS file had a COUNTRY= command for OS/2. The customer placed a file called WP0000.WCP in the WP51 directory, containing only the phrase "064 00,064" (which remaps nothing), and the error was eliminated.

Another user eliminated this error by starting WP with the /CP-437 startup option. The user then placed this switch in a SET command in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
