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

Problem

Solutions: Sometimes customers accidentally exit WordPerfect without saving the file they were working on. They may ask if they can recover a timed backup file, but WordPerfect deletes the timed backup file when the user exits normally. Sometimes that file can be UNDELETED using DOS 5.0 or one of the popular utility programs.

For example, in DOS 5.0, a user could go to the C:\WP51 prompt and type UNDELETE. Users may see the file WP{WP}.BK1 or .BK2 or .BK0 as one of the files that can be UNDELETED. The customer can type the first letter (W) of the filename and then rename the file.
