- When I use WP 5.1 under OS/2, it has a very hard time opening
- text files. Little ones will eventually open, but with large ones,
- say over 80k, WP says "DOS text conversion in progress", but it
- just sits there for minutes (or longer, I haven't waited) with
- no hard disk accesses or anything. I went through it with
- IBM Tech Support in Florida, and they were able to duplicate the problem,
- but it was kind of left as, "well, you should call back and see if
- there's any news, this report will be automatically erased in
- 28 days." Didn't inspire too much confidence.
-
- There must be people running WP under OS/2. This seems like a
- pretty major bug. I hope this one isn't just erased after 28 days.
- Anybody out there have this problem? Or a work around for it?
