I am a recent Mac programmer. I am working with a HyperCard application which at one point uses a LSP routine to read from a file. The file is well formed because it can be opened and read in Word. Under some circumstances (to be mentioned below) the file acces routines are returning a result code , -120. This result code is not listed in INSIDE Mac volumes (1 to 5). Can some body out there help me out with this error? This error occurs when I am running a HyperCard application with a stack size of about 6 Megabytes (I tried it on a MAC II x with 4Meg and a Mac II with 5 Meg bytes). However, this does not happen when I run a smaller HyperCard application. Occassionally, on the Mac II, even the smaller applications end up with this error while attempting to read the file. (The file is 181 K and created by another LSP routine). My first guess is that this error is due to the huge size of the application. In support of my guess the error number -120 is in the proximity of Memory Manager errors. Thanks in advance, krishna
