WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: Mace or Mase Utilities (put out by 5th Generation) has recently released a level 3 (Version 1990). With this loaded 5.1 locks up upon entering. This new level three checks for two things: 1. if the program or files show up in a file called survey, and 2. if it has been altered in any way. They type "survey" which tags all of the files, so it almost sounds like it isn't tagging the files properly for 5.1 or else some other kind of incompatibility with this program. I'm at a loss. We tried coming in to 5.1 from shell and at the 51 directory typing wp. Either way we lock up. Solutions: The customer called Mace and ask if they have some startup switches to use. The customer found a work around from them. He created a simple batch file before he started WP that changed to the Mase directory and typed VACCINEOFF. By simply turning the vaccine off, WP51 runs great. Or, they can still use Mase Levels 1 & 2 with no problems.
