Has anyone out there come across a program which removes or installs device drivers? i.e. If ANSI.SYS is already loaded and I want to replace this with a driver of my own, the program do this for me. Or if I haven't loaded VDISK.SYS, the program will also take care of that problem ... etc. *Note: the program can be run at anytime, not only at boot-up time! Something along those lines will do fine. please use e-mail Thanks -Kenwyn

It works for character devices only, though. I haven't figured out why block devices don't work. Anyway, I submitted this program in article form to PC Magazine. If they don't accept it, expect to see it in comp.sys.ibm.pc in the near future. Craig Chaiken Hartford Graduate Center Computing Services

Hi|
I am new to this group, so I don't know if somebody already asked
this question. Is there a way to find out what device drivers are
loaded in config.sys, other then looking it that file? Namely, I
wrote some program that works correctly with screen driver qwikansi.sys
but doesn't work correctly with (usual) screen driver ansi.sys, so I
would like my program to check out which device driver is loaded, and to
give an apropriate message. Is it possible to do this in Turbo Pascal?
Any help will be apriciated.
Sorry for bad english and spelling, but I am in a kind of hurry.
Regards, D. Cvetkovic

I refer you to the book _The MSDOS Papers_, by the Waite Group (sorry, don't know the publisher.) If you can't get a copy, try any reference that mentions the DOS List of Lists or deals with writing your own device driver. If this fails, contact me by e-mail and we'll talk.
