Hi all!

I've got a problem with a fractal program I'm writing (hardly original, I
know, but it's practise). When I try and save the screen using the Allegro
save_bmp() function, if there isn't enough room on the disk, it seems to
lock up (at least, I hope it's not my code's fault!).
As far as I can tell, an obvious way round this would be to check there's
enough room on the disk first, but using ANSI code to do this would probably
require some inelegantly contrived solution and still end up being
nonportable.
There surely has to be a non-ANSI function to do this, somewhere in DJGPP's
library, but unfortunately I can't find any documentation in this area,
except possibly an Info file, which I can't get to load into the reader
(that's another story...). Any pointers?
