- Nanforum Toolkit v2.0 Patch #5 10/25/91
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- I didn't know that the DOS call used in the ft_tempfil() function (INT
- 21h FUNCTION 5Ah) not only creates the temporary file, but it leaves
- the file open. In other words, a handle is used and is left in the
- AX register. This could be a problem if you're low on handles
- because they could eventually get used up.
-
- In order to preserve the calling convention, I just fclose() the file
- now if it is created.
-
- In order to update your library, just replace TEMPFILE.PRG in your
- NFSRC.ZIP with the attached TEMPFILE.PRG (if you downloaded the source
- code).
-
- Then, you need a library utlitity (LIB.EXE comes with many versions
- of DOS, and with most compilers). If you know what to do, simply
- replace the .OBJ module with the new one that is included in
- this patch file.
-
- If you don't have a LIB utility, you can find one by going to the MSL
- forum on CompuServe and downloading S12776.ARC.
-
- The procedure, for those not sure:
-
- 1. Make a safe copy of NANFOR.LIB. Hide it away.
-
- 2. Change to the directory where NANFOR.LIB is located.
-
- 3. Put TEMPFILE.OBJ in the same directory as NANFOR.LIB.
-
- 4. Type
-
- LIB NANFOR -+ TEMPFILE;
-
- That should do it.
-
- Remember to report all strange stuff in Section 5 on Nanforum! If you
- have any problems, please contact me so I can help you get them
- fixed.
