Has anyone used dfind() and dnext() successfully? I have tried every thing I can think of and yet, every time I try to call dfind() it crashes my machine. -- William P Loftus UUCP: wpl@burdvax.UUCP Unisys/Paoli Research Center ARPA: wpl@burdvax.prc.unisys.com PO Box 517 BITNET: 202527899@VUVAXCOM Paoli, PA 19301 215-648-7222 (work) 215-649-0633 (home)

However one thing that you can do to cause it to crash is to pass it an info block that is not on a 4 byte boundary. What ends up crashing is ADos writing to the wrong location for the info that it returns resulting in something completely unrelated being destroyed. /*---------------------All standard Disclaimers apply---------------------*/ /*----Working for but not officially representing SAS or Lattice Inc.-----*/ /*----John A.
