Printing to CON when Running Works on Network Crashes Net

PSS ID Number: Q29255 Article last modified on 12-12-1994

1.x MS-DOS

Summary:

Works will hang when the file server no longer responds to your requests. For an example of this, do the following:


 * 1) Install Works on a network file server.
 * 2) Load Works and create a word-processor document.
 * 3) Execute a Print, Print, Print to file command
 * 4) Enter the file name CON.

Works will write the file on the network file-server screen. Please note that the file server no longer responds to your request, causing Works to hang.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a probem in Works Versions 1.x. We are researching this problem and will post new information as it becomes available. ====================================================================== Version : 1.00 1.05 2.00 3.00 Platform : MS-DOS ============================================================================= Copyright Microsoft Corporation 1998.
