Curious, Has anyone been able to path SAS/C 5.10b to use Turbotext? The turbotext patch operation works ok, except for an error that TurboText always seems to give me when it wants to save a backup, but the lc image has a bad hunk after the patching. When turbotext wants to do a backup it wants to write it in the ':T/filename', where filename is the name of my file with a .bak concatenated to the end. I do have a T: in RAM just like all good 2.0 systems have. Has anyone run into this and what was your solution? -mark= – via Whap!

Sorry, Mark, but I don't have any real experience with TurboText. It's not our product.

Oops! I meant to send it to Oxxi, and they are only just arriving to CIS and even then I am not sure it is official. 🙂 -mark= – via Whap!

Mark, ':T/filename' says write to 'filename' in the 'T' directory on the current disk. 'T:filename' says write to 'filename' in the currently assigned 'T' directory. If your 'T:' directory is assigned to ram: and your current directory is DH0: ':T/filename' is trying to write to 'DH0:T/filename'. This may not be what you want. Versia Hilliard

Mark, Look at your .bak file destination string. If it truly is ':T/filename', the reason it fails is that most likely you are in LC: or a subdirectory. I believe the .bak location it is looking for is LC:T/filename based on the destination string you gave above. If you go into the turboText configuration file and set the .bak destination to 'T:filename' it will go to T:
