- Memorandum March 25, 1992
-
- The following is prepared to address compatibility issues for
- WordPerfect 5.1 for Windows users who are upgrading to Windows
- 3.1. Also at issue is a PC Week article (March 23, pg. 8)
- concerning compatibility problems between Windows 3.1 and WP 5.1
- Win.
-
- ∙ Will WordPerfect 5.1 for Windows run under Windows 3.1?
-
- Yes. The minor compatibility issues between Windows 3.1 and
- WP 5.1 Win have been addressed by Microsoft through work-
- arounds in Windows 3.1 (see below). In addition, the
- upcoming interim release of WP 5.1 Win will make the work-
- arounds unnecessary.
-
- ∙ Work-arounds in Windows 3.1
-
- Microsoft has incorporated work-arounds into their WIN.INI
- file to address compatibility issues introduced with Windows
- 3.1. They are listed under the [Compatibility] section in
- the WIN.INI file. For example, the entries "WIN2WRS=0x1210"
- and "WPWINFIL=0x0006" are listed to resolve minor problems
- Microsoft encountered with WordPerfect 5.1 for Windows.
-
-
- ∙ Do customers need to change anything in order for
- WordPerfect 5.1 for Windows to run under Windows 3.1?
-
- No. The work-arounds are automatically installed with
- Windows 3.1, so customers will never encounter these minor
- incompatibilities unless they delete or edit the applicable
- entries in the [Compatiblity] section of the WIN.INI file.
- Whether customers are running the shipping version, or the
- upcoming interim of WP 5.1 Win, Windows 3.1 compatibility
- issues are resolved. Either way, this is transparent to the
- user.
-
- ∙ What should customers do if they run across a problem with
- WordPerfect 5.1 for Windows and Windows 3.1?
-
- Call customer support and explain the problem. As always,
- WordPerfect Corporation will do its best to resolve all
- customer problems. The compatibility issues with Windows
- 3.1 of which we are aware have been addressed, and we will
- continue to address problems as we are aware of them in the
- future.
