[comp.sys.amiga.tech] What's wrong with this Open

marko@sinanju.UUCP (Mark Moore) (01/12/91)

#include <libraries/dos.h>
#include <libraries/dosextens.h>

extern struct FileHandle *Open();

main()
{
  struct FileHandle *fd;

  if (!(fd = Open(SERIAL_DEVICE, MODE_READWRITE)))
    printf("Can't open serial device: write\n");
  else
    Close(fdread);

}

I'm trying to avoid coding at a lower level than this.
I mostly want to be able to use WaitForChar().
I would like to avoid using UUSER: (Which I've been using.)
MODE_OLDFILE seems to work.

Please send mail.  I don't get these groups at home.  Thanks.

Mark
