The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: When using a LANtastic network, the customer was unable to get more than one user into WordPerfect at a time. The customer is using Digital Research DR DOS Version 5.0 and has SHARE.EXE installed on all workstations. If SHARE.EXE is disabled, several workstations can execute WP without any problem. Solutions: Disabling SHARE.EXE is not really a usable work around. The only way that LANtastic does file locking is through Share. Digital Research said they were aware of the problem and were working with Artisoft (the company which makes LANtastic) to find a solution. Until a solution is found, users can disable Share, and any file locking, in order to serve multiple users.
