[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Need help with bug in DOS 2.1 program

jal@valhalla.ee.rochester.edu (06/17/88)

I have found a really odd bug in a program of mine when
running on a PC (floppies only) under DOS 2.1.

The program runs fine under DOS 3.x and works under DOS 2.1
if a Microsoft Mouse is attached.  If the mouse is not 
present (no mouse driver) the code hangs up on a Disk
write (Int 21h, functions 40H).  This write immediately
follows an LSEEK.  There is a prior Write which works 
fine.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem might
be?
