I have to write a program which will load device drivers into DOS from the DOS command prompt. I have completed the part which load character device drivers, but I am completely lost when it comes to installing block device drivers. I am sure there are various tables and control blocks which need to be updated when the block device driver is loaded, but I don't know which ones need what. Does anyone know how to do this? Can anyone suggest a reference for learning what has to be done? THanks for the help. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I program ... therefore I am.

The DOS PROGRAMMER'S REFERENCE (I have the 2nd edition), written by Terry Dettmann (revised by Jim Kyle), and published by Que Corp, contains extensive info on installable device drivers.

This is posted by mistake, I pressed W when I intended to press S and my notes program refuse to abort posting.

Peter (and others :-)) in future (while in "vi" after accidently pressing "w" (or similar)) do: :shell (or similar. Gives you a shell) $ kill <pid_of_"vi"> $ exit (You drop back were you were before you pressed "w") No harm done. Frank "Been there" Slootweg, Hewlett-Packard, Dutch Customer Response Center.
