Steiner) Newsgroups: bit.listserv.games-l Subject: Problem with running a (game) program under VMS... Message-ID: Date: 7 Feb 90 00:50:22 GMT Sender: Computer Games List Reply-To: "Michael J. Steiner" Organization: Arizona State University Academic VM/CMS System Lines: 27 Approved: NETNEWS@PSUVM Gateway I am trying to run an .EXE file I received over the network. I use these commands: define ZOO DISK7:"RESRCH.AUMXS"ZOO.EXE @ZOO X VAX_TETRIS I get the error message: %RMS-W-RTB, 512 byte record too large for user's buffer How can I fix this? Should I change the format of the .EXE file? I received the following message from a local consultant: >That message indicates a programming error. The I/O statements in the >program are incompatible with the size of the data record. Either the >data must be changed or the program must be modified and recompiled. What does this mean? How can I fix this? Thanks! +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Michael J.
