WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: A user wants to flag one of his network user files as "RO" since that particular user didn't want to have his .SET file altered by the network administrator once it was set up. If a .SET file is flagged as "RO" (read only) on the Novell network, there are various problems. For instance, if you first flag all the files with "flag *.* RW" and then perform "NWPSETUP" and answer yes to all the questions, the program works fine and updates all user files. However, if you then type "DIR" at DOS and flag the first file at the top of the directory list that appears on the screen as "flag WPxxx}.SET RO" and leave the rest as "RW" and run NWPSETUP, and answering yes to all the questions, you will get the "Error : No WP 5.1 SET files found". Also, the program will only update .SET files according to the directory display until it encounters the first one flagged as "RO".

One customer could only see one printer defined. If the customer logged in as the supervisor, all of the printers were listed. This was because the printer files were Read-Only. Solutions: If you flag the .SET files RO, you lose 75% of the functionality of the .SET files. You can only see one printer in your list, you cannot change any formatting codes, and you get unpredictable results in many other areas. The user should keep a backup copy of his .SET file on his local hard drive if he fears someone will tamper with it.
