2176.0. "WordPerfect "Read-Only" Problem" by ATZIS3::au7100.aui.dec.com::Huschka () Tue Apr 01 1997 12:36

Hi,

If you try to open a WordPerfect 6.1 document in read-only mode the client
hangs until you close WordPerfect.

If you open the same document in read-write mode everything works fine.

Customer is using the 16-bit Dec Client and WordPerfect 6.1 German.

Is there anything (apart from always open in read-write mode) that can
be done ??


regards

Andreas Huschka

	Andreas, I remember a bug where the mouse was disabled when you get the 'read-only' message from the applicaction. The return key could still be used. Not sure if this is the same thing, is it really LinkWorks that hangs? Like you started the application synchrone? Kind regards, Jos
2176.2	Synchronous behaviour	ATZIS3::atzpc2.aui.dec.com::HUSCHKA_A	SIB-OFFICE	`Wed Apr 02 1997 11:35`	11
	Jos, there is no mouse problem. The behaviour is indeed like starting the tool synchronous. Anyone else had/have this problem ? Any solutions ?? regards Andreas

	Yes, Werner has the same problem for Word, if he switches off ILockBytes. But I can't reproduce it here (32 bits client on NT4) regards, Jos

	I remember we solved a read-only WordPerfect problem in the March 97 kit of the 32 bit client. This means that the fix will propagate to V3.2 DOSWIN, but you would need a new DOSWIN client to get the fix. Martin
2176.5	Probably solved	tacklr.apd.dec.com::TACK_L		`Wed Apr 02 1997 19:48`	13
	Hello, If you look at the "caption" in the window and you see a name with ...(points) in it than the problem is most probably solved in the kit at Location:IJSAPL::DISK$LNX:[KITS.WIN308P.16BIT]W16ENGPL.EXE Also read the readme file. Regards, luc Tack
