Enhancement - DI (Delete Inhibit) Flagged Fil |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: When you edit a file that has been flagged DI (Delete Inhibit), and then replace that file, the new file does not get the DI flag. The backup file (*.BK!), however, is in the same directory with a DI flag. The DI flag is not carried to the newly created file. This person would like the save routine changed in WP such that the Novell file attributes are transferred with a file when it is retrieved, modified, and then saved. Solutions: During the file save process, the original file is renamed with a .BK! extension, then a copy of the original is saved with edited changes. If Original Backup is off and all goes well during the file save process, the *.BK! file is deleted once all the information is saved to the new file. In this case, though, since the .BK! file has a DI flag on it, it is not deleted, even with Original Backup turned off. The DI flag does not prevent the file from being renamed, only from being deleted. That is why the *.BK! file has the DI flag on it and the new file does not.
