Morning all,
A few comments, it seems to have been busy on here over the weekend. ;-)

Do you know what this trap is supposed to do?
The trap in question is the only trap introduced by the DBAS author.
It sets up a vector for all the DBAs syscalls. It needs to be
executed AFTER the directory driver(s) in question are first used.
Maybe, just maybe, a "dir flp1_" before running the system will help?
I'm assuming of course that the system runs from a hard drive but the
file is on flp1_ otherwise, the directory drivers for flp1_ should be
set up when the libguide was booted from flp1_.
I originally developed this on a QL system, JS ROM, running with a
Miracle Hard drive. That gave me win1_ and win2_ for developing.
I've tried to recompile with the actual return from the "open as
database" call, but because I'm now on QPC without a miracle hard
drive, win1_ and win2_ are not what they were when I built this
system originally. Hopefully, at lunch time, I'll have time to fix my
make files to make them work again!
I think, also, that the database_h file #includes a file from C68
named ansi_h but I don't see that file any more.
I have copied Libguide_exe & _dbs to win3_, a hard drive map, and ran it
from there.
Doing a dir win3_ doesn't make a difference in producing the error.
I also tried DBAS's own DBPTR_exe, this just died when trying to open a
dbs file from win3_.
My tests were done on a W$-Vista with Q-emuLator 2.5 and 3.1., with JS
and
both the old DATA_bin and latest 2.13.
Only 3.1 & JS produces the errors, the DATA_bin version makes no
difference.
I looks like something changed between Q-emuLator 2.5 & 3.1 to stop
DBAS from working.
Bob
I agree - I have also tried running the program on a JS ROM QL without
any problems.
I have forwarded the files and details to Daniele so that he can
investigate further.
