Hi Andy, to be on the safe side, I’d open a ticket with the ooRexx team. Also, which version? There has been lot of activity on the Sys*File* OS specific parts. So it might be solved - or it shows that the main developers have Windows machines, in which case this needs to be added to the test suite.
Does it also happen outside of RexxTry? Cross-posted, by me, to oorexx-devel. best regards, René. > On 17 Jun 2021, at 07:25, Andy McMenemy <andy.mcmen...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Gentlefolk...
