SUMMARY

When you use a version 5.0 of Reference Software's Grammatik grammar checker with files dated earlier than 6/1/92 with version 2.0 of Microsoft Works for Windows and the Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1, you may receive the following error message
MSWorks caused a General Protection Fault in module <MSWORKS.EXE>
where the module "<MSWORKS.EXE>" indicated in the error message may vary.

MORE INFORMATION

According to Reference Software Technical Support, only versions 5.0 of Grammatik with files dated 6/1/92 and later will work properly with Microsoft Works for Windows with Windows version 3.1.

Note: Earlier versions of Grammatik supported Microsoft Works for MS-DOS, not Microsoft Works for Windows.

If you use versions of Grammatik 5.0 with files dated earlier than 6/1/92 with Works for Windows, the file that is checked for grammatical errors will be corrupted. This file corruption may result in the error message described above.

If you only check grammar once for a particular file, you can recover the backup file Grammatik makes before it begins a grammar check. The recovered file will not be corrupt.
