- I have compiled a my program with highspeed pascal,
- and when i run it from a writeprotected disk, the
- program halts and tells
-
- DISK WRITE PROTECTED
-
- I could not understand why my program acted like this,
- so i checked, and i found that MY program tried to
-
- *DELETE*
-
- a file on my disk! WHY ? Is this a kind of virus ? or
- some kind of logical bomb made by the programmers ?
- One thing is sure, I did NOT (in my program) want to
- delete any files at all.
-
- The file was not found, because it did not exist. But
- anyway, I did not find any information on why a file would
- have to be deleted in the manuals.
-
- I also wonder why the window title changes to CHRISTEN!!!! some
- times, It seemes like the programmers have had a lot of *fun*,
- but i dont understand how a serious programming package can be
- released with these kid-jokes in it....
-
- (In fact i like the compilator, but it eats stack.)
