Cannot Find Correct Copy Of WP.FIL |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
PROBLEM: A customer was receiving the error "Cannot Find Correct Copy Of WP.FIL" when entering WordPerfect 5.1 for Dos from an OS/2 2.0 DOS window. The WP.FIL and WP.EXE files were the same dates, and all DOS workstations were able to run the program without problems. ANSWER: When using the OS/2 2.0 operating system, WP 5.1 for DOS should be run from a DOS compatibility box, rather than from within another type of OS/2 session. DETAIL: If WP is located on a Novell network, then a DOS network connection should be established for the DOS compatibility box that is going to run WP. To establish this connection successfully, some session parameters should be set to configure the DOS box to emulate an actual DOS machine as closely as possible. These are the proper settings: 1. The settings notebook should be opened and the following items should be changed: --- DOS_SETTINGS should be edited to include DOS_FILES=255 --- DOS_LASTDRIVE=E (Or the actual last drive before the normal DOS login drive. Frequently, the F: drive is used as the network login drive, so the E: drive would be specified as the LASTDRIVE.) --- NETWARE_RESOURCES should be set to PRIVATE as opposed to GLOBAL 2. After starting the DOS box with these settings, a copy of the DOS version of NETX.COM should be executed (a copy of the DOS NETX.COM is included with the shipping version of the NetWare Requestor package and is usually found in the NETWARE directory, a subdirectory of the users root drive/directory EX: C:\NETWARE), which will then allow the user to log onto the network from the F: drive. Once the user has logged onto the network correctly, WordPerfect can be executed without a problem. Another user receives the error "Cannot Find Correct Copy Of WP.FIL. Enter full path and filename. For example c:\wp\wp.fil." when entering WordPerfect 6.1 for Dos. The error message follows with "6 Read Overlay" and/or "Error 30 Overlay" if a path is typed and entered. ANSWER: Program worked properly after reinstalling WPDOS61 using Custom/Minimum install (Standard will also install the program properly). DETAIL: User selected Update instead of Standard or Custom/Minimum during install, thinking WPDOS61 would install over WPDOS60. |
