Watch-out Anil, those are FCB calls, not 4E and 4F calls.

Why not get-out Turbo C and write a prototype to see if what you want to do 
can be done without buffering the list of files. Assume that if it can't be 
done there it may not be worth pursuing.

My point is actually that you should not borrow problems. Build the list 
first, and copy the files next. That is all that makes sense to me and that 
is possibly why what you are trying to do may not work... the solution of 
storing and restoring the DTA to support a non-standard control structure in 
a piece of code seems rather a waste of time, when the time to code a buffer 
may solve everyhing for you...

Assuming you want to write some code, rather than debug something that is 
currently broken.

Good luck whatever you end-up doing. I would encourage you to follow what we 
did in the past with these old systems that is tried and true before trying 
something different and new.
