.SET File Size Grows Or Doesn't Reduce As Ite

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

Problem

Symptoms: The file size of .SET files does not decrease as users delete items contained in the .SET file. The .SET file should decrease in size as users delete printer definitions or information from Initial codes.

Also, with Fast Save turned on, WordPerfect's .SET files are doubling in size. If Fast Save is Off, the problem does not occur. Solutions: This problem occurs because WP only marks the packed to be deleted, but does not actually purge it. The same thing happens when making changes to the printer selection.

Workaround:
Changing Fast Save to No and then making a change to anything in Setup (so that the .SET file was rewritten) should cause the file size of the .SET file to decrease.

This problem cannot be duplicated with the current version of the program. Because it does not occur in 6.0, this probably will not be addressed in version 5.1. If you continue to receive calls on this situation, please contact your team leader who can take the necessary steps to include it on the common call list.
