Hummm, that's me again.

I find myself where the problem was. I used close() instead of fclose().
Pfff...

Unfortunately, this produces now another crash, after about the same time,
and the message is now:

Current value: load error: no Dos memory.

Can someone help me on this now?

Thanks for any help.

Best, Eric.
