There's only one call to get the list of shares. So if it returns an error for
unavailable disks, the whole call should have failed and Andrew should have
seen no mappings listed by the test program.

Presumably you mean that the error is an internal error in the code
implementing Int 21h/AX=5F46h, so that it just ignores that drive and returns
no information for it? That seems a bit odd, when there is a status field in
the use_info_1 structure (which I called "share_info" in the code).

Thanks, bye, Rich =]
