Are you running on Windows or UNIX? I found that this program:
procedure main()
f := open("x","b")
line := read(f)
write(f, *line)
end
runs ok on UNIX (SunOS 5.9) with Icon 9.4.1 (&version) but on NT4SP6a with
Icon 9.3.2 I get this:
Run-time error 214
File io.icn; Line 4
input/output error
offending value: 68
Traceback:
main()
write(file(x),68) from line 4 in io.icn
But I've got a broader question: Why is the temp file necessary? Why not
just hold those edits in memory? Are the files multi-megabytes?
