The error message

Runtime error R6001 null pointer assignment

occurs in Works version 3.0 for MS-DOS when you are saving a Word Processor file if the FILES statement in the CONFIG.SYS file is either missing or set too low.

This error message, which is followed by a dialog box that states “Conversion not successful,” occurs only when saving in one of the following formats:


 * Microsoft RTF
 * Microsoft Word 5.x
 * IBM DCA
 * WordPerfect 5.0
 * WordPerfect 5.1

To correct the problem, make sure the FILES statement in the CONFIG.SYS file is set to 20 or greater (that is, FILES=20).
