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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

▀ If the carry flag is returned clear but AX < CX, then a partial record
  was written or there is an error. This can be caused by a CTRL+Z (1AH)
  embedded in the data if the destination is a character device in cooked
  mode or by a disk-full condition if the destination is a file.
 
▀ If the function is called with CX = 0, the file is truncated or extended
  to the current file pointer position.
 
▀ [3.0+] If the program is running on a network, the user must have Write
  access rights to the directory and file.
