Message-ID: <44@mnopltd.UUCP> Date: 12 Apr 90 14:05:11 GMT Reply-To: gatech!stiatl!mnopltd!neal Organization: MNOP Ltd., Atlanta, Ga. Lines: 19 Distribution: ->Well, there >is< a solution to the refusal of WP 5.0 to run on a networked ->drive! At long last, SCO's DiSCOver magazine (March/April) sez: -> ->1) Format a B: Psuedo-drive. (Unfortunately, it's only 360K) ->2) Install Word Perfect onto a WP50 directory on your Network (H:,U:) drive ->3) Move the WP.FIL file from that directory to the B: drive ->4) Invoke Word Perfect with 'wp/d=b' Beware, this is may be only half an answer. I suspect this will work on simple files but will puke up on your printer on complex documents unless those documents are on a real DOS partition. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Neal Rhodes MNOP Ltd (404)- 972-5430 President Lilburn (atlanta) GA 30247 Fax: 978-4741 uunet!emory!jdyx!mnopltd!neal Or uunet!gatech!stiatl!mnopltd!neal ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
