Yes, I know this duplicates the 32-bit cousins, so it probably
will "automatically" be included in the next release, BUT, I want
to make sure that it's on the list.
Could you please add the OPEN HANDLE functionality? But, instead of a Windows
handle, it would apply to a DOS handle.
I ask this because I have a number of OBJ file I/O procedures that
I have written. The whole reason I have written them instead of simply
using the builtin PB commands is so I can have LFN support in my
DOS programs (DOS INT 21h services 71xxh). But, the only way I can
use the handles returned by them is to also code the input/output
routines. If OPEN HANDLE were available, I could then use the builtin
PB file handling routines, which would make my coding MUCH less
tedious, and it would also greatly reduce my programming overhead.
Thank you for any consideration.
