253.0. "WordPerfect, OA$FORMATTER, VMS5.5" by KAORSC::M_FETT () Mon Mar 16 1992 21:06

    

    Customer has V2.4 and VMS 5.5 with lock and queue manager patches
    installed. He has 20/20 and Wordperfect integrated with ALL-IN-1.

    When sending a document to the oa$formatter queue (these are usually
    20/20 spreadsheets or VMSmail that was forwarded into ALL-IN-1)
    ALL-IN-1 does not signal the user that something is wrong, but the
    queue stops, and the vms error is generated: 
    UNEXPECTED SYMBIONT PROCESS TERMINATION %QUEMAN-E-SYMDEL 
    -JBC-F-INVMSG invalid message recieved.

    we tried to manually delete and recreate the queue, but it did not fix
    the  problem. 
    
    What causes this? Customer claimed this config worked before his
    upgrade to VMS 5.5.

253.1known problem (I think)SHALOT::LAMPSONWhatever ya do, ya gotta have FUN!Tue Mar 17 1992 18:1910
        I know I read this somewhere, but I cannot remember where:
        
        Since VMS V5.5 introduced a new Job Controller, the WordPerfect
        symbiont modifications do not work.  You must get a patch from
        WordPerfect.  I believe that they are still working on a patch.
        
        You might want to look in the WordPerfect conference and do a
        DIR/TIT="5.5" in this conference to find more information.

253.2WordPerfect Patch out soon to fix the problem so I have been toldGIDDAY::SETHIMan from DownunderThu Apr 09 1992 07:5112
    G'day Monica,
    
    I have exactly the same problem with a customer and I talked to
    WordPerfect.  I was informed that Version 5.1-<something or another>
    will fix this problem.
    
    WordPerfect in Australia are hoping to ship the latest version/patch
    out soon to there customers.

    Keep on :-) and hopefully WordPerfect would have fixed the problem.
253.3WordPerfect Patch is availableTRCOA::SHEUFred Sheu @TRCFri Apr 10 1992 16:275
    I have just connected to WordPerfect's BBS and found that there is a
    patch for VMS 5.5. I think the patch is called patch E or something
    like that. 
    
    Regards, Fred.
253.4They don't believe in our rulesPRESS1::HOWARDBen. It should do what people expect it to doThu Apr 16 1992 23:058
    WordPerfect insists on defining a group mode logical for SMBSRVSHR so
    that they can steer the standard VMS print symbiont to do things that
    it normally won't.  Naturally, any change to the symbiont is going to
    stop this from working because they are actually using their own
    callable image.  It also keeps things like VTX from installing
    properly.
