Holdon And Holdoff With WP |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: HOLDON and HOLDOFF were made by Novell in the first days of networking. HOLDON was the answer to file locking. HOLDON will keep files open to prevent two people from using the same file. When someone runs HOLDON from their network drive and then types WP to start 5.0 or 5.1, they get a directory is in use error. They have to use a local drive for their overflow files. The .CHK file is left on their network drive. It seems with HOLDON turned on, WordPerfect has a problem creating the .TV1, .BV1, .SPC files. It will not let you save or copy a file to a specified or default network drive. If they try to save the file with a new name it will give you an Access Denied error and make a file with the new name, but with 0 bytes. At this point they have to press F1 to cancel, the new file name will appear in the bottom left hand corner, but the new name will not be used. When printing, HOLDON left the temporary print file on the network drive. Type HOLDON at a network prompt to activate HOLDON and HOLDOFF to deactivate HOLDON. Customers should not use HOLDON with WordPerfect. The only time you would need to use HOLDON is if you have a single user application written before DOS 3.0. |
