Unable to Open Include File

[Charlie]

Also I've found the file has to be in the same sub-directory as the program source code. Although I'm told you can specify the complete path, I've never tried that.

1. check the full path if it is not in the root directory.

2. check the file name as you have written DT- and DT_. Which is true in your case?

3. OS does not matter for this case. I still use an old PC for things newer ones cannot do, especially matters with Unicode etc. I wish I had even an 98 machine now for an unsolvable problem with old fonts.

There are PLENTY of cases I wish they hadn't killed XP. Almost daily, in fact. And for those that think we are all going to instantly die if we keep using it, please remember that some of us do more with computers than surf the web. Lots of uses for an older machine off line.

There’s as much reason to use an archaic desktop OS as there is to use an even more archaic compiler with similarly archaic 8 bit pics.

Does your installation compile other PBP programs that don’t use any include files? You say you see an error, but didn’t say what that is,
or if MPLAB is involved, etc.

In any case as a last resort, you could do what include does, and include the file you are including.
includes, and in C, .h files, exist to avoid clutter, but I’d sooner do that than reinstalling Windows over it.
In some cases I modified the includes enough that each program needed it’s own version of DT stuff anyway.

The errors (Actually a Warnings) are:

WARNING Unable to open INCLUDE file DT_INTS-18.BAS
WARNING Unable to open INCLUDE file REENTERPBP-18.BAS

Those INCLUDES are in the PBP root directory (along with all other INCLUDES that work, every time, all the time).
The spelling and format on those two INCLUDES is correct (checked, and reloaded, several times).
Any other PBP program I have ever used on this computer , compile, program, and work 100%

Actually this thread should probably be closed - I am not all that concerned about THIS problem on THAT computer. It is only used for convenience, since it will open and work with Mr E's MultiCalc. I asked this question more out of curiosity than anything else.
Thanks to all that responded.

All my other "Lab Computers" are XP's and I will keep them that way. They are not used for Web browsing, only for program development and debugging. I'm 100% satisfied with them, and see no reason to upgrade them.
