Hi folks.
I desperately need your help!
I have:
- djgpp-v2
- running my program in a dos-box under windows95
- I edit a file with MS-Word for Windows95, and
save this file again (text-only).
===> From my djgpp-program I cannot even open this
file for reading (as long as it's opened with Word).
Note: fopen("test.txt", "r") returns NULL !?!?!?
Of course I heard of things like "file-locking" but at
least I would like to READ a file that is opened with
Word or any other application.
PLEASE HELP:
- is there a work-around how I can read such a file
with djgpp????
- is there a option in Word for Windows95 or
- is there a option in Windows95 that allows me to
read this file with djgpp!?????
PLEASE DO NOT argue about MS, Win95 or Word -- I'd love
to kick it off my disk but I can't... So please help
me to ease my pain!
Thanks!
Beni.
