Hi. Quick question I've just upgraded my 8086 system to a 80286 system. Went from 8 to 16 MHz, and from DOS 2.12 to DOS 3.3. Went great, but one of my database programs, Ashton-Tate's FRIDAY, will fail on certain files with an error: "END OF FILE SEEN UNEXPECTEDLY" or something like that, and kicks me back to the operating system. I do a CHKDSK after this and find two or three lost clusters. What is going on. The exact same files run great on the 8086 machine (repeatedly tried this from backups) I would appreciate any pointers as to what I am really seeing. Thanks -- Richard S.

In-Reply-To: message from richardb@trwind.UUCP I doubt it is a machine problem. It's probably a mess up that occured when you were transporting disks/files. I'd try the same setup on the 8086 again. If it doesn't work you know that it's a file or disk problem. If it DOES work one or more of your periferals is XT not AT compatible.
