Hi,

Please, someone tell me why It is impossible to erase a file with
'remove()'  :

Note: I runned it under Win 95 inside a dos box.

-------------------------------------------------
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
 FILE *tmp=fopen("ex.$$$","w");

 if(tmp==NULL) { perror("fopen");return 1; }

 fprintf(tmp,"Just a try.");

 if(remove("ex.$$$")!=0) puts("I can't get ride of this #$?% file ! Why
?");

 fclose(tmp);

 return 0;
}
-------------------------------------------------
