"PC MOS" Network And WordPerfect 5.1 |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: When using the unsupported PC MOS network, WP was working very slow. Merge for instance was taking about 5 minutes for 20 labels. Solutions: By going to a MOS (DOS) prompt and typing MOSNODIS the network functions will slow down but the program will speed up. The customer then proceeded to merge 1200 labels in 2 minutes. When this workaround is used, all other users will be stopped until the one user completes their operation. In the past the following startup options have been necessary for running WP 5.1 in this environment: /NC/NK/NE. The reason for this is that the terminals do not use conventional keyboard calls nor expanded memory. The use the of the /NH and /NF startup options may be necessary. The /NH startup option prevents WP from checking hardware information necessary for "printing to hardware port". Since these terminals do not have parallel or serial ports, printing to hardware port is impossible. Therefore, it is possible for the terminal to react adversely because WP is attempting to check hardware ports. The /NH startup option would prevent this. The /NF startup option may be necessary because these terminals do not have graphic cards in them. The /NF startup option may help prevent display problems. PC MOS is a multi-user environment. It is not a network. The HOST computer does all the processing. Users access DOS applications from Terminals using serial communications. PC MOS is not a network operating system but a stand-alone OS such as MS-DOS. |
