I'm working in Turbo Pascal 5.0 in a PC-NFS enviroment, and need to read files on a network drive that is mounted READONLY. Currently, RESET's on such files return Dos error 5 (File Access Denied), implying that Turbo Pascal is trying to open the file READ/WRITE. I've been told that a one byte patch to deal with this problem/bug was recently posted, probably to this newsgroup, but I haven't been able to locate it in our archives. I would be very grateful if someone who has this at their finger tips could email it to me or post it as appropriate. Thanks.

Before you try to patch anything first see if the following helps: FileMode := 0; It certaily works without a hitch for non-network environments. ...................................................................
