When we try to transfer a file from the hard drive to the floppy drive on our target machine (in code by creating a file on the floppy and copying contents from hard drive file onto floppy ) we consistantly get file handle errors on the 12/13th go ( copying the same file ). We have swapped out floppy drives, floppies, and whole machines and written the code to use both Meridian non-standard FILE_IO and DIRECT_IO and it still fails on the 12/13 go. Target Machine : Intel 486dx66, 1MB RAM, 100MB HD, DOS 5.0. Have you been made aware of this problem before, or does anyone have any suggestions ? Failing that does anyone know where I can get some already written bindings to C or some C and ADA that I can use to do a file copy in DOS. Many thanks Paul Hussein. ECC Simulation. Brighton.
