Ok you netters.. After a call to the GS/OS DInfo call, I can pull everything I need out and place in my own convinient variables, EXCEPT the name of the device. What way can I take the pointer "DInfoRec.devName" and manage to pull the name (stored in GSString32.text) into my own string... in a simple few steps. Help?

I don't know if the ORCA library has a better routine for this, but you could certainly use the BlockMove routine (in the Memory Manager) to copy the class-1 string, or you could use a C-library routine like memcpy(). (If you use BlockMove, be sure to cast the last parameter to a long.) -- --Dave Lyons, Apple Computer, Inc. | DAL Systems AppleLink--Apple Edition: DAVE.LYONS | P.O.
