WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: A user running WP on a DEC Pathworks LAN, which allows the administrator to restrict rights in a directory to a certain file, was not able make changes to the .SET file. The file server log showed unsuccessful attempts to create .SET and .PFX files. Solutions: When WP modifies a .SET file, it creates a temporary .SET file with a .PFX extension, deletes the .SET file, and renames the .PFX file with a .SET extension. This is working as designed.

In this instance, the administrator limited the users' rights to their own .SET file. When WP tried to modify the .SET file by creating a temporary .PFX file, an error occurred because the user did not have the rights necessary to permit WP to create the .PFX file. When the administrator granted Create and Modify rights for both the .SET and .PFX files, the problem no longer occurred.
