I need help with the following problem:  I have access to a program that works on an PC clone running DOS 5.0  (it supposedly ran under DOS 3.2).  The program runs under 
GWBASIC and opens a file with a recl > 128.  (OPEN "XXXXXX.XXX" as #1 LEN=200)
The program gives me an error on a true IBM running DOS 4.0 under either BASICA or GWBASIC.  Does anyone know why?  I checked config files, I just cannot get it to run.

Help
