Solutions: WHAT IS THE DEVELOPER'S TOOLKIT
The Developer's Toolkit is a technical reference with information about the document file structure of WordPerfect 5.0 and 5.1. The contents include a manual with two diskettes for 5.0, and a manual with three diskettes for the 5.1 toolkit. The toolkit includes the following:
            1.      Document and file structure in hexadecimal format.
            2.      Printer driver file formats.
            3.      Graphic device driver (screen drivers) information.
            4.      Mouse device driver file format.
            5.      Special files to display more than 256 characters during normal text mode editing. (See Screen Font Info below)
            6.      Keyboard macro and macro file formats.
            7.      Third Party sample program and test files.
            8.      The OS/2 Interface for WP5.0 is included with the WP5.0 DOS Toolkit.

Screen Font Info: This applies only when one of the following screens are present: EGA, VGA, Hercules graphics Card Plus and Hercules InColor Card. The toolkit documents the format of the special files used to implement those features and describes how a user or developer could modify those files or create new files to display a different set of characters on the screen while WordPerfect is running. These special character sets and the files associated with them apply only to the display modes listed and are used for displaying characters in text mode. The View Document feature in WordPerfect uses graphics mode and can display all characters that are supported by the selected printer in WP5.0.

There are two Developer's Toolkits available. Specifics are listed below:
      1.      WP 5.0 Toolkit contains all of the information for the DOS and OS/2 environments.
      2.      WP 5.1 Toolkit contains all the information for WP5.1 and WP5.0 with notations of format differences between the two versions.

For information on how to order the Toolkit and how to get technical assistance, see the CSTOOLS Infobase.
