I recall a short time ago someone asking about how to do this but didn't think I'd need this info so of course didn't save it. I wonder if someone could send my way the method of stopping the Abort, Retry... message from appearing. I want to be able to go to A: through my program, and be told that it's not available so I can continue without bringing up the (arf). Thanks for any help (by the way, I examined all the previous articles that I have (123 of them) and it must be farther back than that). Carl Schelin tcs@mailer.jhuapl.edu

" message is called a critical error by DOS. When a critical error occurs, dos calls INT 24h. What you should be able to do is intercept INT 24h and print your own message or do whatever you want... To see the parameters used by the INT 24h call, look it up in a DOS programming book, like Peter Norton's, or one of these interrupts list. If you're unable to do this, e-mail me and I'll try to send you the information. /Assar ################################################################################ Assar Westerlund Address: d90-awe@nada.kth.se ################################################################################

The assembler code could be adapted or used as a model. Check the PC mag subdirectory at simtel or email }ime and I'll try to find the volume/number for it.
