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

Problem

Solutions: It is possible for a temporary file (i.e., the .BV1 file) to consume all free disk space on a file server's hard disk if a file the user attempts to retrieve is damaged. This is commonly referred to as the growing .BV1 file problem. The fact that the file is damaged is of secondary concern. If the server's hard disk fills up, the likelihood of it locking is very high. WordPerfect Development is concerned about problems of this nature.

In the 09/25/91 interim, a change was implemented to prevent the .BV1 file from filling up the network file server's hard drive. If a customer calls and reports this problem please help the customer understand that the reason this occurred in the first place was because of a damaged file, and then update the customer to the latest shipping interim of WP 5.1.

NOTE: Please help the customer understand that this interim will not prevent file damage. File damage generally is caused by something other than WP 5.1.
