Greetings!

I have a scsi disk that's essentially shared by two
machines.  If I add a file from one machine, I'd
like the other to see it (under DOS of course).

I've tried the "disk reset" interrupts (int21) - 
but I can't find info regarding this:

Int21 - AH=0dh:
"This function writes all modified disk buffers to 
disk, but does not update the directory information 
(that is only done when files are closed or a 
SYNC call is issued)"

What SYNC call?  I found one under djgpp and tried 
it, but it didn't seem to do what I need.  Is there
another sync I can't find?  Do I need to open a 
bogus file and close it to refresh the directory
listing?

thanks for any help!

Mark
