I am upgrading some older software to v3.2 and am having a bit of a problem with the DOS File Interface. I have defined HCB's and loaded a vaild drive:path\filename into them. The next magical act would be to FOPEN the file. My result so far is always negative. I have been feeding a mode = 0 since the only explanation of mode that I can find, under the FMAKE command would suggest that this is the correct value. I have also tried without the drive and path specified, without any luck. Please help me get to that zero flag so I can continue this task.
