Error - "Unknown Major File Version WP.MRS" W |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The user installed WP 5.1 and created macros. When he created a macro and tried to edit the macro it said "Unknown Major File Version WP.MRS". Although the problem can be caused by having the WP 5.0 .MRS file in the 5.1 directory, the WP.MRS file in the 5.1 directory was dated 11/06/89 and the KEYS.MRS file was dated the same. The user wondered if the DOS append path was causing the problem with his .MRS file in 5.1 since the WP and Library directories were in the path. Solutions: The problem was with DOS 4.01. When the APPEND statement is used, it does not read the existing path before appending the extra paths. As a result, WP 5.0 .MRS files were read by WP 5.1 because the append statement had a path for the 5.0 directory. The problem disappeared after the user deleted the append statement. In another situation, this same error appeared when a user was trying to edit a keyboard layout. That problem was corrected by moving the KEYS.MRS file into the same directory as WP.EXE. |
