OK, I think that now I know what's wrong in W98. In the line above, there is a
coma missing.

Can you please insert a coma so that the line looks like:

         system_memory = open("a:\swp0001.swp", O_CREATE);

recompile everything, and try it?

It should be much better. I'm not asking any money for this fix. I don't want to
be responsible for MS future financial problems.
