Problems reading from files in the Classic environment

[Martin Baxter]

I'm doing "get url" file access all the time under MacOS 8.6 and 7.6
without any problems.
But I haven't yet upgraded to rev 2.1 and I'm still using 2.0.3

What version of rev are you using ?

When you say Classic -I guess you mean 68k MacOS ? I've found there are
significant differences there between running 68k standalones in emulation
on PPC and on an actual 68k machine.
