Even after recompiling with the new cut.c and posted change to tmp.c, I
still have trouble with the temp files in MSDOS, although this is not a trouble
which has been mentioned before.
Simulating a crash by rebooting, when I type "virec filenm", the error message
is:
C:\tmp\elvt0000.002 no such file
and sure enough, the temp file name is "elvt0007.002
If I try, "elvis filenm", the error message is:
C:\tmp\elvt0007.002 is busy
Finally, when I rename elvt0007.002 to elvt0000.002 and try "virec filenm"
again, the error message is "bad header"
Can anyone suggest a fix?
