Hello all,



I am trying to make a program that accepts commands from a text file,

then once it has them, delete the file and wait for a while (about 2

seconds) then check if there is anything new in the file to do.



My problems:

1. If I set a normal loop and no waiting code, the program will take

100% of the CPU and lock down keyboard, mouse and all non-real-time

running processes (I intend to use the program under Windows). What

command do I need to preform to avoid this?

2. When I innitialy open a file I get what I think is error code 5

(access denied). Why? Also, when I try to read from the file (I use the

DOS 3+ INT 21h to access the harddrive), the program reads from the

console instead (CON, keyboard). This is because the file failed to

open, right?



Thanx for your help again!

Have you been told Internet will always be

threatened by worms viruses etc? We don't think so:
