Shelling To DOS Or Converting WP 6.0 DOS File |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: Shelling to DOS from WP 5.1+ or retrieving/converting a WP 6.0 DOS file to WP 5.1+ locks the computer. Solutions: This problem can occur on 286 machines that have only 640K RAM (no Upper Memory) and when running ScreenExtender (SE). This problem occurs because the PC is running out of memory. Users can try the following steps to correct this problem: 1. Use the /FCACHE=4 command line option to launch ScreenExtender with a Font Cache of 4K (since the default is 6K, this will free only 2K of memory) 2. Use the /FBUFFER=20 command line option to launch ScreenExtender with a Font Buffer of 20K (since the default is 64K, this will free 44K of memory) Both of these commands should be added to the ScreenExtender SE command in the batch file created during installation (i.e., C:\WP51PLUS\SXSE\VSXWP /FCACHE=4 /FBUFFERS=20). For more information on SE and how it uses memory, refer to Appendix A (Optimizing Memory Usage) and Appendix B (ScreenExtender SE Command Line Options) in the WP 5.1+ User's Manual. |
