QEdit seems to be really good at breaking our software products. As part of
our security package we are creating a write-only directory (yes,
write-only). The problem is, that if someone creates a file (using anything),
eg COPY FRED.TXT C:\DROPBOX [the name of the directory], if they try to load
the filename with QEdit, they get an "editing new file" message and no file,
*but* even if they exit straight out without saving, the original file is
gone.
What is our program doing ? Well, it fails the following DOS functions :
* FCB & handle FindFirst
* All FCB read functions
* Handle opens in R/O or R/W mode are converted into W/O mode opens
Of itself it's not such a major problem (though lots of places have QEdit
lurking about). HOWEVER, if other things work the same way...
