Subject:	Catching disk errors

	I want my programs to be able to successfully catch I/O errors with a 
floppy disk.  This is not a problem if the disk is full, for instance, but if
there is actually no disk in the drive then I get the DOS "Abort, Retry, Fail"
message repeatedly on my screen.  What's the easiest way to beat DOS to it and
have MY program be able to handle a no-disk situation?
