MS-DOS

Summary:

If you enter an invalid, nonexistent, or incorrect directory in the Open dialog box of Microsoft Works version 1.0 or 1.05 and then enter any wildcard characters (for example, c:*.*), Works will not generate an error message.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Works versions 1.0 and 1.05. This problem was corrected in Works 2.0 and 3.0.
