The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: Enhancement:
A user requested that WordPerfect 5.1 include the capability to use either a 12 or 24-hour clock for the creation/modification time displayed in List Files.

Answer:
Users can do this by modifying the Language Resource File (WP.LRS). The WP.LRS file holds information for the different languages that can be used with WordPerfect, such as the name of months and days, or the text used for the Document Summary titles. If users want to change any of these defaults for the current language, they must edit the WP.LRS file.

To modify the time format used in List Files, users should retrieve the WP.LRS file into WordPerfect (it should be in the directory where WP.EXE is located). If the current version is United States--English, they should search for the US code (F2, Ctrl-Enter, US, F2). The information following this code is used by the U.S. English version of WordPerfect.

Field 23 in this record displays either 12 or 24. (This should be found around page 44 of the WP.LRS file, near the end of the US record.) This is the field that List Files uses to determine the time format. If users would like to change this display to a 24-hour clock, they should change this number to 24 and save the file.
