- I don't know where I read it, perhaps in the README file, but that is _exactly_
- the way it is supposed to work. C_A_D only flushes the file system buffers.
- It doesn't save any changes you made to the WPS or to your Winword documents or
- to your AUTOCAD drawings or whatever. Use shutdown instead. If that doesn't
- work you are in trouble anyway cause somehow WPS is already screwed up.
- I thinks one could expect WPS to not screw up, but expecting it to screw up
- _and_ to work properly at the same time is a bit much.
