Based on past experience the low level API calls to do with files on W2K and
XP may not be compatibale with the same call on DOS/W9x so before making any
changes could you please try the proposed changes (if any do come out of
this thread) on Win 2K or XP to see what happens.

I can test the change on my XP box, but it may take afew days to do.

Thanks,
Andrew
