[comp.lang.c++] DEVICE DRIVERS

pilgrimk@lafcol.UUCP ([5m[7m[1mchaudhas[0m) (02/08/89)

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

I wrote such a program.  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.
