PRB: DX1020 on a Call to OUTGTEXT under MS-DOS

MORE INFORMATION

To generate the problem, compile and run the sample code below from MS-DOS (not from an MS-DOS prompt in Windows).

OUTGTEXT still fails if the two lines are uncommented and the directory used in REGISTERFONTS contains no .FON files or does not exist. The program runs correctly if the two lines are uncommented and the directory used in REGISTERFONTS does contain .FON files.

Sample Code

c compile options needed: none

      INCLUDE 'FGRAPH.FI'
      INCLUDE 'FLIB.FI'
      INCLUDE 'FLIB.FD'
      INCLUDE 'FGRAPH.FD'
      write(*,*) setvideomode($MAXRESMODE)
c      write(*,*) registerfonts("c:\f32\lib\*.fon")
c      write(*,*) setfont("n1")
      CALL outgtext("abcde")
      read *
      END
