TEMPFILE function and __WAIT_4.OBJ

[Datadis]

When my program (clipped with 5.1) try to perform a TempFile(), I get an Illegal Operation error (Windows error). If I doesn't link my program with __WAIT_4.OBJ, everything is OK. What can I do ? I must compile my program with WAIT_4. Is there any function similar to WAIT_4 I could use ??

I thought the __wait_b.obj was superior for technical reasons which escape me though they had to do with it being a later version. I can email it to you if you do not have it.

I tried with __Wait_B.obj compiled with 5.1 and got the same error...

I have that problem some time ago, the wait.obj is a solution but this external file also does the work very nicely: amdpoff.sys

Here a transcription from the author:
"SchneiderMichael@t-online.de (Michael Schneider)

In October of `96 I wrote a driver to fix the R6003 error on
AMD-Processors. It just disables the branch prediction on an AMD-K5 processor. The driver works fine and AMD-UK & Germany sends my drivers to customers who have this problem. Here is the latest version 1.3. It
supports all K5-CPU's (Model 0 - 3). BTW: Driver is freeware."

Load this driver in CONFIG.SYS before loading EMM386!

I test it on K6 processors and some PII and works ok.
If you need it you can get it from

in the Clipper directory.
