I just had a catastrophic hard drive crash on my Amiga 2000 on which I have 10
years of business accounting information. I've written my programs in
AmigaBasic (using AC-Basic Compiler) and apparently have lost a file called
"Dos.Library". I have the Dos.bmap file in my LIBS folder but no library file.
It's been years since I've done any programming on this thing and I'm not even
sure that file really exists. I've checked all my original disks and can't find
it anywhere.
I'd appreciate any help anyone could give me. Thanks!
David,
I just looked and I don't have "Dos.Library" so its not part of AmigaDOS 2.1 or
3.1. I don't have the AC-Basic Compiler so my guess would be that the
Dos.Library came with the compiler or some other program.

Thanks for your reply. Apparently the file is in ROM and accessed throught the
dos.bmap file.
Thanks Again!
David,

Hehehe, you can't loose it, because it's in the Kickstart ROM of the OS.
Looking into the (C) 1987 Absoft Corporation AC/BASIC Compiler Reference
Manual, the problem you got may derive from the LIBRARY statement in your code:
LIBRARY "dos.library" 'the dos.bmap _must_ be in the same
'directory as the application program is
LIBRARY "LIBS:dos.library" 'the dos.bmap is searched for in LIBS:
LIBRARY "sys:FD1.3/dos.library" 'dos.bmap has to be in that directory
So try to copy the dos.bmap file to the home directory of the application.
Maybe this helps…

Thanks so much for your help. My dos.bmap file may be corrupted.
Thanks again!
