I've read code too, now. Version 1.80 of int21.c introduced the error. The
0x5b code here is plainly wrong, as AX can return an error *or* a file
handle.

I think it's been fixed in 20030911, but maybe even earlier, by introducing
INT21_CreateFile in dlls/winedos/int21.c version 1.38.

Function 0x5b might sttill not return the correct value when file creation
does not succeed, as I see no place where AX gets a correct error value.

I tried to, unfortunately the application I'm trying to test does things
with CD-ROM and thus broke - as I understood from the mailing list archives
- as result of a bug in 20030813 - where Wine crashes.

Now unfortunately, 0813 and 0911 just crash; versions before 0911 do not
have the RESET_CFLAG fixes; versions before 0813 differ too much in their
DOS file handling. Now version 1016 should be OK, but here the application
ends with a rather cryptic Windows dialog that says "error 6806".

So I gave up and reversed the 0x5b handling in msdos/int21.c in 20030408, so
my application works. I hope the 20031016++ versions will not barf with
"error 6806" - or maybe I'll sort out what change causes this.

Thanks for helping & checking my messages.

Best regards,

Valentijn
