I have some questions about setting up windows using the AES. 1) Is it possible to get the Resource Construction Set by Digital Research without buying the Development kit? 2) I tried doing an dummy=rsrc_load(filn); where filn points to the string "logo.rsc" terminated by 2 zero bytes. (I should only need one I think, but I put 2 just to make sure) Dummy ends up being 0 after the call, indicating (according to the ABACUS GEM programming reference guide) that an error occured. I guessed that there is some problem in opening the file because the error occured during the first and only buzz of the disk drive.(I believe the first buzz is always a directory check for opening files) I checked to make sure that I had in fact placed the logo.rsc file on the disk that I had in drive A and I checked to make sure that I spelled it right. I don't know what to do now. HELP! Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!! Sincerely, Alan M. Levi
