Problem

Solutions: A customer received the error message "Error 278 WP{WP}.SPC" upon entering WordPerfect. Error 278 indicates that there is "Not Enough Room On WP Disk To Retrieve Text". The number error message is given instead of the text because the error occurs early during startup, before the file containing error messages had been opened.

The WP{WP}.SPC portion of the error indicates that there is not enough disk space on the WP disk to store the overflow files. This particular user was running on a two floppy system. Starting WP with /D-B: (directing the overflow files to B:) corrected the error.
