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

Problem

Symptoms: Some users on a network are unable to select a printer (the program locks when they press Shift-F7, S). They also noticed that a virtual file called WPxxx}.LS1 is growing to several megabytes in size. Solutions: A group of users were pulling their default .SET file from a different location than those users who were able to correctly select a printer. Recreating the master .SET file and reselecting the printer resolved the problem. The virtual file growing in size indicates a problem with the file integrity. A virtual file, if damaged, could possibly grow until it consumes all the available disk space on the server. This happens if the prefix size reported to WordPerfect is larger than the actual file itself. As a resolution to this problem, with the 09/25/91 interim release of WP 5.1, if a file is selected or retrieved and the file size or integrity is compromised, WP treats it as an empty file and will read nothing.
