- I recently wrote an invoice program for my parents, that opened,
- and appended, etc. files. The program worked fine on my computer running
- DOS5.0. They have an old computer with only 640k ram and no HD. I sent
- the program home after testing it inside and out. When they ran it there
- was an error immediately opening the b drive. I tested the program using
- floppies so it would be the same and had no problem. I tested everything
- on my b: drive.
- Is it possible since they are running under an older version of dos
- there is different syntax to opening files?
- I also posted to Msdos.apps about if DOS5.0 would run on their
- somewhat primitive computer. I spent many hours writing this program, my
- first program that actually did something usefull unlike the ones I'v written
- for classes.
- Any help would be appreciated.
