Hi all,

The samples "wc.d" and "wc2.d" causes "Invalid handle" on execution. What am I
missing?

Windows95, AMD K6 550.

TIA.

I don't know.  Did the compiler or linker give any errors?  If so, just 
copy the console messages and post them to the newsgroup.

It ran fine on WinXP Home using go.bat, and this is what it looked like...

\dmd\bin\dmd wc
D:\dmd\bin\..\..\dm\bin\link.exe wc,,,user32+kernel32/noi;

wc wc.d
    lines   words   bytes file
       45      80     810 wc.d

wc foo
    lines   words   bytes file
Error: foo: file not found

\dmd\bin\dmd wc2
D:\dmd\bin\..\..\dm\bin\link.exe wc2,,,user32+kernel32/noi;

wc2 wc2.d

Tested it on Win98 (Athlon 1.4GHz) And I got the same: Compiles and linkes fine,
but at runtime I get "Invalid handle". And it's caused by the line

input = cast(char[])std.file.read(arg);

That's odd.  Perhaps something is wrong with std.file.

I remember seeing some discussion recently about changing the 
SomeFunctionA API function calls into SomeFunctionW function calls in 
std.file.  It's happened recently, so I included the version that I 
compiled with DMD 0.76. (The change should have occurred *after* 0.76.)

If this version does work for you, the change in std.file might need 
some re-examining to work on Win98.
