WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: FYI:
A customer running on a LANtastic Network with 25 users was receiving the message "Disk Error 55" (Network Device No Longer Exists) after 18 of the users had entered WordPerfect. The 18 users would then start getting the message, "Put WP 2 Disk Back In Drive." The customer found that LANtastic was not letting any more than 18 users into WP at one time.

The customer started WP with the /D switch and redirected the overflow files to a local drive. This corrected the problem. This could also be a limitation of the number of files the server is able to have open at once. You might try increasing the FILES=xxx option in the CONFIG.SYS file on the File Server.
