Hi, This sounds like a Windows Feature or bug?
I have never had a lockup of SMSQ/E since using a Gold Card Version in the mid 1990s
I use Linux and SMSQmulator, QPC2, QEmulator and they have never locked out any WIN drives.

I agree with Wolfgang in that there probably was an outstanding file lock on the .WIN file. The file lock would keep other programs from writing to the .WIN file, but it would allow programs to read from it. This is why you could copy it and why SMSQmulator said it was read-only. The reboot cleared the lock and all was well. The cause of the crash might be difficult to determine. Windows is not easy to troubleshoot. There is no truss or par trace capability built into the OS (at least not that I am aware of), so you can't look inside a process to see what is happening. I remember the old bit: "The software said to install Windows 95 or better, so I installed Linux." Tim Swenson _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List
