sort error on dictionary

[foxtek]

I am trying to help a friend using a very old DOS version of OZPC. I am not a reporter, just a computer geek. I tried to attach er dictionary file but it was a little too big. She is getting a 'sort error' when trying to fix the dictionary. Any ideas? Thanks Barry Fox

Hi foxtek,

Try adding the following line to your CONFIG.SYS file:

FCBS=35,35

Restart the computer and try the sort again. If it still fails, the dictionary could be corrupt. I would have the reporter try to load an older backup and see if you encounter the same trouble.
