Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

  Syntax:  flagType fChangeFile( flagType fShortName, char far *Name );
 
  Returns: True if the change was successful, otherwise false.
 
  See:     DelFile, FileNameToHandle, FileRead, FileWrite,
           fSetWindowWithFile, GetPfileFromName, pFileToBottom,
           pFileToTop, RemoveFile, ◄Using Files►
 
     The fChangeFile function changes the current file, drive, or
     directory to the specified <Name>. When fShortName is TRUE, it
     performs the same operation as the command Arg <FileName> Setfile.
     See: ◄PWB Setfile Function►
 
     When <fShortName> is TRUE, <Name> can be a base name only. PWB
     searches for the first file in memory with the specified base name.
 
     No PFILE is returned. If the extension needs to access the file by
     handle, it must get the handle with FileNameToHandle or
     GetEditorObject.
