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

Problem

Symptoms: When a user prints WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS documents across an IBM LAN Server network, the workstation locks up randomly during an I/O operation. Solutions: The problem was caused by IBM's DOS redirector code. IBM maintenance releases for their OS/2 LAN Server version 1.3 are called CSD levels. For example, CSD level 5050 is an update to CSD level 5016. When updating CSD levels, redirector code is part of this upgrade. IBM is aware of a problem and has provided an update. Depending on what version of DOS you have will depend on which redirector to request. IBM-DOS version 4.x requires REDIR40.EXE. IBM-DOS version 3.x requires REDIR30.EXE. Updating the DOS redirector code to the latest version seems to stabilize the problem. Have the customer contact IBM to request the new redirector code.
