WP Accessing WP.FIL File Often When Printing

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

Problem

Symptoms: The customer would like to know why WordPerfect is slow when printing tables. The customer used a third-party program to see what interrupts are called and said that WP seems to be accessing the WP.FIL file excessively, which slows down the printing. Solutions: This is working as designed. Printing tables will be slower because of the graphics lines that WP needs to create. WP accesses the .FIL file because most of the information the program uses to print graphics comes from the .FIL file (not from the .DRS file). This user also had a very early release of WP, so an update of the program will help the speed issue. Another suggestion is to use /R startup option. This will make the printing of graphics lines and accessing the .FIL file much faster.
