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? --Michael Phelps morphine AT cs DOT jhu DOT edu
