PSS ID Number: Q21777 Article last modified on 11-02-1994

2.x

MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

When Word is installed on a hard disk, the SETUP utility creates the MSTOOLS subdirectory and puts four hidden files in it.

The files with the hidden-bit set are as follows:


 * 1) MW.COD (contains the program code)
 * 2) MW.COM (contains the interpreter)
 * 3) MW.DAT (contains all Word menus and messages)
 * 4) MWA. (contains a list of names of all programmers who developed Microsoft Word)

Word Version 2.x will not run unless these files are present.
