In article <15337@s.ms.uky.edu> I write:

Turns out there was no "FILES=" statement in the Model 30's CONFIG.SYS
and the program opens three files simultaneously. After inserting
"FILES=30" the program runs fine.
Thanks to everyone who responded. Special thanks to Frank Whaley,
John P. Nelson, and Duane M. Butler who each suggested checking "FILES="
in CONFIG.SYS.
