Originally posted by NickFitz View PostYup, I've never found the exercises in books very rewarding - I tend to hack about at something interesting and fall back on the book as reference material.

IIRC MS BASIC file handling has been fundamentally weird since the Seventies, and hasn't improved since, hence the tendency to use ADODB.Stream and its ilk for anything beyond the fifteen-entry flat file address book "database" that seems to have been the intended application.
Win3.1 is all lopen & low level file handling, locking stuff here there & everywhere, while 95 et al is back to fopen etc.Comment
