Page 234 of "Microsoft BASIC 7.0: Language Reference" (for versions
7.00 and 7.10) incorrectly states that the error generated when
attempting to OPEN a new ISAM table or database with the PROISAM TSR
loaded will produce a "File not found" error message. The correct
error message produced is actually "Feature Unavailable."

This information applies to Microsoft BASIC Professional Development
System (PDS) versions 7.00 and 7.10 for MS-DOS.

Note: The PROISAM TSR (or library) allows existing databases and
tables to be accessed, but does not allow dynamic allocation of
databases and tables. The PROISAMD TSR (or library) is required to
dynamically allocate databases and tables.
