Even in v1.09 the DIR_SELECT$ bug still exists.
Memory corruption as soon as the menu is opened. Some of the directories
in the list may not exist for this SMSQ/m but the main root it opens
with is win1_, which does exist.
Oops!

Hi Bob,
There is a well known bug in dir_select$ in that, when you select a non
existing dir after having selected a valid dir, it crashes.
For example, any dir_select$ I do comes up with dev1_basic_ as default
dir, which is an existing dir. If I now change that to nfa_basic_, which
doesn't exist, it crashes. But that crash happens on all machines.
Is that what happens to you?
Because apart from that I can't find your bug here.
I know about that bug but as far as I know this should not happen if you
don't change this setting in configuration: "short filenames in
File-Select =>No".
Besides DIR_SELECT$ defaults with win1_ (=PROGD$ & DATAD$) from the
commandline and that does exist, it's the boot device.
It crashes even before I can select a new dir.
Of course it is impossible to know from every app that calls this tool if
the dir they supply exists.
Especially when in this case I copy files from my QPC2 .win to the .win I
set up for SMSQ/m.
My initial problem showed when I tried to use the DOS device from QPC2 to
copy some zipped files between them.
In the end I configured ACP "by hand" with Config.
But the joy was short lived because ACP also relies on DIR_SELECT$ and
thus immediately crashed SMSQ/m.
Sorry,
Bob
