Q40183

6.00 6.00a 6.00ax 7.00 | 1.00 MS-DOS | WINDOWS kbprg -- The information in this article applies to: - The C Run-time (CRT), included with: - Microsoft C for MS-DOS, versions 6.0, 6.0a, and 6.0ax - Microsoft C/C++ for MS-DOS, version 7.0 - Microsoft Visual C++ for Windows, version 1.0 -- MS-DOS allows you to set an APPEND path to locate data files. Microsoft C library functions such as open and fopen will not ignore the APPEND statement, even if a full pathname is given to the specific function. This is expected behavior. If you want to have the APPEND path ignored, you will have to write your own low-level open function, or make sure that the APPEND path is removed before your program is run.
