Re: Need Help With GPS-NAV PC Software

DOS error 5 is a read only file error, have you checked
the file attributes ?

Failing that there are two Cambridge progs you might
run,can't remember in which order you do it

SYSINIT.EXE
REBUILD.EXE

or

REBUILD
SYSINIT

Somehow your NAVPOINT.DBF file has been set to "read only". In File
Explorer, right click on the navpoint.dbf file, select Properties,
then clear the "read only" check box under Attributes. Your other data
files might have the same problem.

Thanks John and Eric! Both of you were right on. Deselected read-only
and everything works great. Glad to have this resource, even for
computer problems (of course, glider-related).

Thanks again,
Steve
