    Has any one else had any problems reading files that were created under 
AmigaDos 2.0 using the old OS.  The text file in question can not be read
properly under 1.3.2 but can be read under 2.0.  

    A program I have that reads the file, locks , unlocks and Opens the file
using the normal AmigaDos "Lock", "UnLock", and "Open" calls, but returns
a IOErr code of 286 when it trys to Read the file.  I tryied to look this
code up, but it is not a "Valid" error code.  Any ideas?

   By the way, my program is not the only thing that has problems with
this file.  Under 1.3.2, "TYPE" does not type any thing, and a "more" 
program I have just prints out the first 512 bytes of text.  Under 2.0,
every program can read the file.
