Running EMSFIX To Correct Problems |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: WordPerfect 5.1 has the ability to run with expanded memory. It is capable of running with expanded memory programs which meet the LIM 3.2 or 4.0 specs. If a program claims to meet 4.0 specs but is unable to handle some of the commands that WordPerfect sends some problems may occur. A third party file found on CompuServe called EMSFIX can be run which will report to the system that the expanded memory version is 3.2, even if the driver itself reports the version as 4.0. Running the file has been known to solve many of the incompatibility problems that may occur when running WordPerfect with a memory driver that reports to WordPerfect that it meets LIM 4.0 specifications. The release of WordPerfect 5.1 dated 1-19-90 will offer a start up option of /32 which forces WP 5.1 to use the LIM 3.2 specifications. This can be used in place of EMSFIX. EMSFIX was originally written to allow 5.1 to work with the EMS40.SYS expanded memory manager published by PC Magazine. Versions of EMS40.SYS prior to version 1.1 dated 7-19-89 will not work with WP 5.1, even with EMSFIX or the /32 startup option. One possible problem that may occur is the leaving open of files. This problem results in the error WARNING: Backup file deleted due to disk error -- Press any key to continue. In attempts to save a file the message "ERROR 0" would appear. The original file had been renamed BK!, but the revised document was never written to disk. This problem was corrected by running EMSFIX. |
