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

Problem

Symptoms: A customer was trying to run WP5.1 in a DOS window on a Unix system. He was using AT&Ts Simul/Task. He had WP installed on the E: drive. When we tried to run it he kept getting "Cannot find WP.Fil file". That file was there on the E drive. I tried several startup options (/x, /ne, /nc/nk/nf) and none did any good. Finally, I just had him copy the files to the C: drive and it worked fine. Solutions: We do not support running a DOS version of WordPerfect on a Unix System, although there are several people who are running DOS WP on a Unix system under a DOS Window. The only thing that you need to be careful with is that it is installed on the C: drive. If they don't install on the C: drive it will give them the infamous message "insert wp2 disk and strike any key" or "can't find correct copy of wp.fil".
