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

Problem

Solutions: The /NB (no backup) startup option was added to WordPerfect 5.1 to eliminate the creation of the .BK! file during subsequent saves. Because twice the disk space of the actual file was needed when saving a document, this option was added to eliminate the creation of the .BK! file.

Pages 43-44 in the book entitled WordPerfect From 5.0 To 5.1 by Karen Acerson explains that even though a user has Original Backup on, when they start WordPerfect with the /NB option (WP/NB), the .BK! file will still be created. The book explains this is true because the Original Backup setting takes precedence. This information is incorrect. If the user starts WP with the /NB switch, the .BK! files will not be created.
