[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Unmovable file...

root@telmail.UUCP (Super user) (10/05/88)

For anyone who still cares about this:

I found that Norton SD (SpeedDisk) regards BRUN30.EXE as an unmovable file.
(This this the run-time module for compiled QuickBasic 3.0 programs)
No unusal status bits were set, the file probably contains some data
that can be found in copy protected programs too.

Anyone else found such an 'innocent' file?

I found that DPATH.EXE (the data path utility for accessing overlays etc)
also was unmovable. I think any file with DOS-type strings in it gets thought
of as part of DOS...
