WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: When you try to force MS Windows 3.0 to make extended memory emulate expanded, most of the time you need to specify in the .PIF file that 1) there is the need for the startup option to tell the application to use expanded 2) the "Uses High Memory" box must be checked 3) the limit on EMS memory usually needs to be changed to about 2 megabytes.

Windows will then reallocate from extended memory the necessary memory for the application to use. WP products will not recognize any expanded memory made by Windows unless there is at least a 64K contiguous page frame. Windows creates the page frame, and if no page frame is created WordPerfect cannot use the reallocated extended to expanded memory.

You can also use the /WS option (12/90 or later) to determine if WP could find and then use the expanded memory. This follows the standards set by the LIM 4.0 specification for a virtual machine.
