If I'm not mistaken, this is because DOS performs this way ! I ran
across this problem when implementing a findfirst and findnext
procedure for Turbo Pascal (v 3.0).
Other strange things that occurr because of quirks in DOS. Using TYPE
and I/O redirection to print a file to a serial port printer fails
miserably (you end up getting a "Printer out of paper error" whenever
the printer signals that its buffer is full), while using the COPY
command to copy to the printer works fine.
