I am writing a Turbo Basic application that reads a couple of
random-access files that are created by PC-File. The program
gets the information fine the first time it's run, and every time
after it seems to start at the last record. I reset, cleared, and
used every other command I could find that would initialize pointers
and stuff. (My programming is admittedly rusty, and my TBasic is
still on a steep learning curve.)
The standalone EXE file will also run fine the first time and
not read at all the second time. Only if I invoke a new DOS
COMMAND.COM does it work.
In Interpretive BASIC (GWBASIC) everything seems to work OK.
Running on an AT&T 6300PLUS, 1 meg memory.
OK, net-gurus- what's up?
As always, thanks in advance.
-Alan.
