Forgot to change some things when I pulled the example out of
my application. Sorry.
Why won't this Open work. MODE_OLDFILE works, but then WaitForChar
doesn't work with the resulting FileHandle.
Please send mail. I don't get these groups on my home machine.

#include <libraries/dos.h>
#include <libraries/dosextens.h>
extern struct FileHandle *Open();
main()
{
struct FileHandle *fd;
if (fd = Open("SER:", MODE_READWRITE))
Close(fd);
else
printf("Failed! As usual.\n ");
}

You may have to mount it before using, depending on your startup-sequence. >| Mark Moore | "Well, what about Captain Zero?" | andy -- andy finkel {uunet|rutgers|amiga}!cbmvax!andy Commodore-Amiga, Inc.
