Subject: Word 6 for DOS - "Disk is full"
Date: Sun, 19 Dec 2004 00:01:32 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20041219080132.GA29894@calixte.ljr.us> (raw)

I am trying to run MS Word 6 for DOS under DOSEMU.  Everything seems
great except for one (not so) minor detail - Word insists the the disk
is full.  On startup, it pops up a dialog with that says "The program
disk is full" and if I try to save anything, it complains that "The
document disk is full".   I can write/save with other programs (e.g.,
touch, edit, etc).

I'm running DOSEMU 1.2.2 (I tried 1.3.1 - it behaves the same) with a
vanilla configuration.  I did tinker with the FILES and BUFFERS
settings in config.sys, but that didn't have any effect.

Anybody seen any problems like this?

TIA!
