WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: README.SH 04/15/94
This README file contains information about using Shell 4.0 with WordPerfect 5.1+.

You may experience display problems if you are using Shell 4.0 to start WordPerfect with ScreenExtender. The problem occurs when you switch to Shell then return to WordPerfect.

To fix the problem, you will need to add SHL_CMP.EXE to the batch file. SHL.CMP.EXE is a utility that fixes some Shell incompatibilities with other programs.

To edit the .BAT file,
1      Start WordPerfect 5.1+.
2      Press Text In/Out (Ctrl-F5), select DOS Text (1), then select Retrieve (CR.LF to [HRt]) (2).
3      Enter the name of the batch file. The batch file is in the WordPerfect 5.1+ directory you specified during the installation process. The name of the batch file is one of the following:

      SWP5.BAT
      VMP5.BAT
      EWP5.BAT
      HWP5.BAT
      PWP5.BAT
      CWP5.BAT

4      Add SHL_CMP.EXE to the beginning of the line that invokes WordPerfect 5.1+, which probably will be the second line of the batch file.

      For example,

      C:\WP51\VSXWP
      C:\WP51\SHL_CMP.EXE C:\WP51\WP
      C:\WP51\VSXWP /unload

5      When you are finished, press Text In/Out (Ctrl-F5), select DOS Text (1), then select Save (1).

6      Press Enter to save the file.

To run the batch file while not under Shell, you must remove the reference to SHL_CMP.EXE from the batch file or create another batch file without the reference to SHL_CMP.EXE. Otherwise, it will result in the following error message:

      "Launcher Is NOT Loaded, Exiting Compatibility Module..."
