Assuming your path name is correct for the network drive, you really shouldn't need any fancy code since the network redirector hides all the implementation details. For example, if you want to open files on network drive J: (I picked J: because in my current job, I happen to have a lot of configuration files stored on network drive J:), you simply use something like... FILE *fp1, *fp2; fp1 = fopen("j:\\path1\\file1", "r"); fp2 = fopen("j:\\path2\\file2", "w"); ...If it still doesn't work for you, post code. I read and write network files all the time and it should work for you, too. --- QM v1.00 * Origin: MicroFirm : Down to the C in chips (1:106/2000.6) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 239 C LANGUAGE Ref: F1A00018 Date: 01/04/98 From: FRED COLE Time: 01:31am \/To: BOB STOUT (Read 1 times) Subj: Csplit Bob Stout of 1:106/2000.6@fidonet.org said to Fred Cole: RS> On , Fred Cole (1:231/50.4@fidonet.org) wrote: > I don't know what the extent of the problem is since I haven't received ny > other comments about this from other people. however, if you do figure ut > whatever is causing it, I'd be happy to modify CSplit.

Scrape off the diplomacy from my post above and that implication is in there. :-) I'm still curious what has been changed, though. Since everyone involved confirmed that the extracted code compiles fine, it is possible that this anomaly could be excluded from the CRC calculation -- maybe. --- msged 2.08d * Origin: Yell fore, take 5, write down 3 (1:231/50.4@fidonet.org) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 239 C LANGUAGE Ref: F1A00019 Date: 01/05/98 From: TIKA CARR Time: 02:42pm \/To: ALL (Read 1 times) Subj: Moderator Nominations Ok, I think I'll get my share over with, delurk and post my picks (nominations) for the next C_Echo moderator.

Can't fault that, unless you say it ought to have As Bob Stout pointed out to me, chars are promoted to ints.

H Nor would I, Bob. It would be daft. The only point I was making is the hair-splitting one you've made above, and I'm glad you said it. I just dislike ambiguity and woolliness or fudging in specifications, and the C standard is quite clearly guilty of it. I like things cut and dried. :-) BTW thanks for the new one. Now all I have to do is find a mime reader. :-) Best wishes, Bill. --- * Origin: bill@escan.demon.co.uk (2:2504/200) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 239 C LANGUAGE Ref: F1A00023 Date: 01/04/98 From: BILL BIRRELL Time: 12:24pm \/To: AUKE REITSMA (Read 1 times) Subj: C9x Hi Auke, The new working draft has arrived.
