Running Shell 4.0 through Windows 95 |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 6.0 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: A user has WordPerfect 6.0 for DOS and Presentations 2.0 for DOS. He has always been able to swap between programs with Shell 4.0, and save information to shell in Presentations to bring it into WordPerfect. After he upgraded to Windows 95, he finds he is no longer able to use Shell directly from Windows, and when he runs Shell through a DOS prompt, he is unable to save his work in Presentations to Shell and bring it into WordPerfect. Solutions: A user may or may not be able to perform certain Shell functions through the Windows 95 environment, but since the DOS applications were not developed specifically for Windows, and Windows was not developed with DOS applications in mind, problems between Shell 4.0 and Windows 95 are not supported. Causes: WordPerfect for DOS and Presentations for DOS were developed to run and share information through the DOS environment. Shell 4.0 was developed to allow users to swap and share information between DOS applications. Windows 95 was developed to further develop the Windows environment, and make much more advanced use of sharing environment space between Windows applications, and linking and embedding objects directly through Windows. We have worked closly with MicroSoft through the Beta cycles in Windows 95 to insure compatability between all of our products and this operating system. MicroSoft addressed many of the issues that we raised in our compatability testing. We are looking into the possibilities addressing issues MicroSoft has yet to address. |
