Thanks for your helpfulness. :-)
Version: Icon2 9.3.2 for MS Windows
Frogram:
link io
procedure main()
write(getdrive())
end
Error message:
File noname.icn; Line 5
procedure or integer expected
offending value: &null
Traceback:
main()
&null() from line 5 in noname.icn
I also got the same error message with this program:
link io
procedure main()
dr := getdrive()
write(dr)
end
Now, the io.icn file says:
getdrive() returns the current drive as a lowercase string with the ":".
Now it would not surprise me that in Windows ME and later there is no
such things as a current drive or current directory (which I also cannot
get to work). <shrug>
Many thanks,
Bill
