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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

Explanation
 
Files with the extension .BAK are considered to be backup files, with more
up-to-date versions of the files assumed to exist. Therefore,
.BAK files will not be edited.
 
Action
 
If it is necessary to edit the .BAK file, rename the file and give it an
extension other than
.BAK. Or, copy the file and give the copy a different
filename extension.
