I didn't get the original question, for a few days I seem to have had
some email trouble...

Hi Wolfgang,
The original questuion was:
Hi All,
(if there is still someone listening, of course.)
Can someone tell me why the return values in this small prog are
different from those found in the SMQS/E SBASIC/SuperBASIC Reference Manual
Online Documentation Release 4.0.1 by Rich Mellor and why QPC2 and
SMSQMULATOR sometimes return different values as in line 240?
Am I using these functions incorrectly? If so, can someone correct me?
100 OPEN_OVER#3,'ram2_rdonly_txt'
110 REMark Why does 'dmedium_rdonly(\dev$) return 0 instead of 1
120 REMark Why does 'dmedium_type(\dev$) return -1 instead of 3
130 REMark Why does 'line 240 return -23 WITH qpc2 (which seems
correc)t BUT -7 with SMSQMULATOR
140 dev$='dos3_' :d$=DATE$ :datad_temp$=DATAD$
150 REMark DOS3_ is an external USB CD DRIVE
160 DATA_USE 'dos3_'
170 fichier$=dev$&d$
180 WHEN ERRor
190 IF ERNUM:PRINT#3,ERLIN,ERNUM:END IF
200 END WHEN
210 d= FTEST(dev$)
220 IF d<0:CLOSE#3:DELETE 'ram2_rdonly_txt' :DATA_USE
datad_temp$:STOP:END IF
230 f=FOP_NEW(fichier$):
240 PRINT#3,240,' f=fop_new(fichier$) = ',f
250 PRINT#3,250,'dmedium_rdonly(\dev$) = '; DMEDIUM_RDONLY(\dev$),'rdonly'
260 PRINT#3,260,'dmedium_type(\dev$) = ', DMEDIUM_TYPE(\dev$),'type'
270 PRINT#3,270,'dmedium_name$(\dev$) = ', DMEDIUM_NAME$(\dev$) ,'name'
280 CLOSE#3
290 DATA_USE datad_temp$ :PAUSE
Thanks for reading this,
François Van Emelen
