Word: Using Versions 1.x and 2.x on a Single Drive System

PSS ID Number: Q21709 Article last modified on 11-02-1994

1.x 2.x

MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

The system requirements for Word 2.0 state that we require two disk drives. During the testing of Word 2.0, we determined that there were too many limitations in trying to run Word on a single-drive system. We changed the system requirements so as not to mislead anyone into thinking this worked well.

The manual for Word 2.0 contains a section stating how to run Word on a single-drive system. You can run Word on a one-drive system, but we do not recommend it. It is necessary to copy MW.HLP to another disk and delete it from the program disk. Files should be saved to the program disk and frequently copied to another disk and deleted from the program disk.

Setup and Library Spell will not work on a one-drive system.
