Problem with ECS Version 4.1.004 Martin Terry Wed, 4 Aug 1999 18:08:26 -0700

Mark-

I've been working to convert all my ECS 3.4 code to my new ECS Win 4.1
machine and have finally hit a snag.

The following command in an event works differently in 4.1 than it did in
3.4

Do	FileGenericTxt	Set	Reset

FileGenericTxt is the Type "File" with a path of d:\msg\1

In version 3.4 the Reset command would reset ECS's internal "pointer" to the
beginning of the file, and the command:

Do	NumGetChar	Set	FileGenericTxt

would assign the ASCII value of the first byte of the file to NumGetChar, an
item of the type "Number". The Reset command when used in version 4.1
actually deletes all the text of the file, leaving it blank and 0 bytes in
length.

This is a real bummer since I use this logic a lot in my events. Any way to
fix this?
