subject: File problems w/TP under Warp 3.0

I've got an annoying little problem with most of my DOS-based programs
¨under OS/2...  For some reason, a lot of the programs which I've written
will ¨crash under OS/2 if they try to do certain file-related things...  Ie
¨FatalBBS, my BBS software, crashes at times when it does certain external
¨commands such as external message editors...  What it does is, it creates
a ¨temporary .BAT file which runs the editor...  At times when it does
this, it ¨will cause something like an "Unhandled User Exception
Error" or something ¨like that...I know it's an Unhandled *something*
Error...  I just don't know ¨why this occurs...It also at times will crash
with an error stating that a ¨file is being used by more than 1 process at
a time...Ie...  Even with only 1 ¨node running, sometimes if I load the
External Editor, it might crash saying ¨its BAT file is in use...But I've
checked through all my code and there is ¨*no* way that this is the case...
 And what bothers me more is that this ¨*only* happens under OS/2...under
plain DOS it works perfectly fine...

    As the subject line says, this is all using Turbo Pascal 7.0...  I do
have ¨a Beta copy of Virtual Pascal (Beta #003), but it cannot compile any
of my ¨doors nor can it compile FatalBBS itself, since they both use
several ¨functions/procedures that VP does not support.

    so...Any ideas here???  ANY help would be appreciated..
