WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: When trying to convert files created in Schema 3.0 in HPGL format or DXF format the customer gets the error "Bad Format." When he tries to bring the file directly into WP 5.1 he gets the same message. The manual says that WP support Schema. Solutions: The DXF file does not conform to standard prefix configuration. There are several elements missing that WP needs to have in order to identify the DXF format, namely, version and layer table. The HPGL file is not HP 7475A plotter output, and it must be to convert in WP. This is documented in the manual under the "Graphics, Formats and Programs" section (p.280 in the 11/89 manual). There is no Set Pen command (SP) anywhere in the file, or any Pen up or Pen down commands. This file output most likely came from another HP plotter conversion selection in Schema. If the customer chooses the HPGL 7475A plotter output, the files should convert correctly.
