The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 6.0 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: The hardware requirements for running WP 6.0 are:

Minimum System Configuration

Personal computer using 286 processor
480K free conventional memory
DOS 3.1 or higher*
Hard disk drive with 7M disk space for minimal installation

To start the program in text mode, only WP.EXE, WP.FIL, and WP_WP_US.TRS are needed. For graphical mode, WP.DRS is needed along with the appropriate screen font and driver file for your screen type: VGA requires VGA.VRS and VMF08X1G.WFW; EGA requires EGA.VRS and BMF08X10.WFW; Hercules mono requires HERC.VRS and BMF08X10.WFW.

IMPORTANT: You will not be able to use some advanced functions if you run WordPerfect 6.0 for DOS using the minimum memory configuration.

Recommended System Configuration

Personal computer using 386 processor
520K free conventional memory
DOS 6.0 or memory management software
Hard disk drive with 16M disk space for complete installation
VGA graphics adapter and monitor

(This information is from the WP 6.0 Reference Manual, page 6.)

NOTE: Instead of MS-DOS 6.0, customers can use MS-DOS 5.0 or DR-DOS 6.0 plus a good memory manager such as QEMM 386 or 386 To The Max and achieve the same results.

* The WP 6.0 Reference Manual states DOS 3.0 or higher is required, but this information has been superseded by the README.WP file.
