AREV Specific

I have a program that retrieves revelation data from a floppy. On some PCs after I have attached A transferred data and detached A, when I remove the floppy, I get

"General Failure Reading Drive A Abort,Retry,Fail"

I've checked via the command line and a detachtable a command has been issued.

What's happening?

TIA

Speculatively (as my machine doesn't have a floppy drive) try a FLUSH and a call purge.cache after the detach.

It sometimes depends on how you are attaching the diskette. If you're doing

ATTACH A:\ and all your files are under the root, then

DETACH A:\

FLUSH

will do it.

If you'r attaching a subdirectory on A:\ then you have to detach the same thing you attached. Usually the FLUSH is sufficient
