I need to find out the number of logical drives and their types (i.e. floppy or fixed). I'm using Borland C++. This seems like it should be a fairly straightforward thing to do, but I can't seem to find any Borland library routines or DOS interrupts which do exactly what I want. (A lot of the DOS interrupts that return information on a drive try to make it current first which is no good for floppy drives). Actually, all I need is a routine, "isValidDrive(driveNum)", and use it along with the max number of drives (returned from setdisk()) to get a list of the valid drives. Thanks for any help you can offer. Douglas Earl Synetics Software dae@synetic.uucp dae@synetic.mixcom.com
