[comp.windows.ms.programmer] HELP! Bug w/ OpenFile & bc++2.0?

papp@tsjiang.rutgers.edu (Albert Papp) (06/11/91)

I am having difficulties using both OpenFile and _lopen with Borland
c++ version 2.0 when I am trying to open a brand new file for writing.
Read operations work just fine, but I have yet to be able to open a
file in any write mode without getting a return value of -1 (error)
I am using the OF_WRITE flag, although I have tried virtually every
conceivable combination.  Has anyone else had this problem?

If anyone cares to mail me a code segment that is known to work under
bc++2.0 and writes to a file, I'd appreciate it.

Or, if anyone has gotten the SDK examples disk program called
EDITFILE.C to WRITE (save) a file without an error message (reading
from disk works just fine) using bc++2.0, please let me know what
changes you made to the code.

Thanks,
-Al
