I am using MSC 5.1 and am trying to find a high level dos or possibly bios call to determine the status of the disk drive. In particular I am trying to detect what the status of the write protect tab is. My problem stems from the fact that I get a write protect error Abort, Retry, Ignore? message when I try to write to a file using fopen and fprintf. I would like to detect the status before I write to the file so that dos doesn't have a chance to display it's error. I have looked in many books and dos manuals for bios calls with no luck. thanks in advance! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Brian Ashworth CS major trying to just make it through | | E-mail address ashworth@handel.colostate.edu | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
