Re: UNDO--isolating the problem

["Fred Weiner" fw1948@xxxxxxxx]

I'm going to chime in here, even though I don't have a currently operating XyWrite (outside of a DOSBox session on my Mac which has none of the capabilities needed for the UNDO routines) since I had a similar problem a few years back when first attempting to use U2 on a W98 box: please check for ReadOnly files.

Robert,




In frame {{http://5undo.int,rud}} you have an extra space character

between "...UnDo.exe  ..." -- there should be ONE space

there only!  How did that creep in?




Probably as an artifact of emailing. there's no two spaces in the U2. I checked all the frames with a SEarch for two spaces, just to be sure.




Try this, manually -- this is an obvious first step.  CAll

DUMMY.TMP into a window -- make that your current window.

Command, on the CMline:

  sa/nv C:\XY\UD\DUMMY.BAK

Execute that command EXACTLY.  Do you get "Access denied."?




EGAD, I sure do! How can that be? I *can* SAve DUMMY.001 and UNDO.BAK (and, making up a new one) KILL.BAK, whether or not there's a KILL.



What on earth is going on here?
