We try to run DBase IV 1.5 under W95 in a dos-box.

We're running some prg but when we call the SORT command within the PRG
appears an error message 'Not enough disk space for operation'.

Since we do have enough diskspace I wonder if anyone can help us out with
this ?
Do we have any options

We increased already conv. memory, file handles and created a local temp
file.

Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Tks in advance.

Your HD is too big, due to a DOS bug on large HDs, the internal call to 
check for free HD-space returns a negative number if there's more than 
2GB of free space and so dbase thinks the disk is full. Later Win95 
versions and 98/NT apparently don't have this problem anymore. The 
easiest way is to create a partition smaller than 2GB where you run these 
DOS programs until you upgrade your OS.

Marc - This question should really be posted to the NonWindows 
news group.  In the future, please use that news group for 
questions on any of the DOS versions of dBASE.
