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

Problem

When attempting to open a file in WordPerfect 5.1 Dos after installing Windows 95, users are unable to view all of the files in any directory which is not local and which contains more than 1000 files. Only 100 files appear and the dates and names of those files appear garbled.

Answer:

Exiting to Dos and reading the directory (type dir at the prompt) and the same results are received: only about 100 files are recognized and the names and dates appear garbled. WordPerfect Dos can only read what Dos can read.

Details:

All of the files are viewable and retrievable in Windows Explorer. If the filename is typed into WordPerfect, the file can be opened.

One user started encountering this problem on their Lantastic network after installing Windows 95.
