Bob:
It sounds to me like the reason the DOS call was used was because they wanted the file to be created with a long name. The short name had to be used to create the QDIR entry. It was NEVER that difficult to create a regular old text file! Before the simple CREATE filename DIR=dirname syntax for text files was introduced you did it more like any other file type using "T" for the file type: CREATE filename, 1024, T, DIR=dirname
Each file can be a maximum of 1MB in length Uploaded files will be purged from the server on a regular basis.
