-I ran into a strange problem with an old basic program.  The program attempts to read from a random access file opened with the following statement:
OPEN,"XXXXXXX.XXX" as #1 LEN=200
The program works on a pc clone running DOS 5.0.  It supposedly ran under DOS 3.2
I brought it to my PC running DOS 4.02?  and keep getting an error message.  It does not seem to like the reclen greater than 128.  
Does anyone have a clue as to why this is happening?  I tried to run the program
with the three basic interpreters mentioned earlier, but to no avail.
