The error message
 
   Runtime error R6001

occurs in Works version 3.0 for MS-DOS when you are saving a Word
Processor file if the FILES statement in the CONFIG.SYS file is either
missing or set too low.
 
This error message, which is followed by a dialog box that states
"Conversion not successful," occurs only when saving in one of the
following formats:
 
   - Microsoft RTF
   - Microsoft Word 5.x
   - IBM DCA
   - WordPerfect 5.0

To correct the problem, make sure the FILES statement in the CONFIG.SYS
file is set to 20 or greater (that is, FILES=20).
