Oh B* !!!
I've never actually tried to write to a directory channel - but DJ_OPEN_DIR
uses the normal QDOS IO_OPEN trap with the correct setting for a directory.
I must have a look into this at some point - Work, wife and QLTdis allowing

Looks like a disc editor is your best bet then

Take the disc editor. Should be about 30 seconds of work after all. ;)

Time to give up on this one I think until I can get an old level 1
QL
out of the attic (it's an old QDOS disk so presumably worked at
some
time!)
You could use a disc editor like wined, search for the filename and
replace the 0 with a valid character.

DJC.
I just mentioned them in passing in reply to Dilwyn's message about
editing
the directory entries on a floppy he is having problems

I had reason to fire up my MinisQL tonight for the first time in a

copy a disk with CHR$(0) in the filename
