[cis.general] IBM-PC programming: determining currently valid drives.

wayne_heym@liter.cis.ohio-state.edu (03/28/90)

One of my students asked me a question the answer to which would
help him finish a program he's writing at his job.  Not being familiar
with the IBM-PC, I couldn't answer it.  If you will respond to me by
e-mail, I will collect your responses and pass them along to him.

The question:

Using Borland's Turbo Pascal v. 4.0, how to determine the currently
valid drive letters.  Does Turbo provide this?  Is there a DOS
function call for this?  What references/tutorials can help him solve
this type of problem himself?
