- I recently wrote an invoice program in C for my parents, who have
- an old computer with 640k and that's it. The program worked fine on mine
- running DOS5.0 but gets an error on theirs running DOS 2 or 3.*. I'll leave
- my C questions for the proper news group, but I wanted to know if you can
- run DOS5.0 with no hard drive and just 640k memory. My program opens files
- and it gets the "Error opening drive" when run. Like I said it works fine
- on mine. And I'm hoping it's the version of Dos they're using.
-
- Any help appreciated.
