The problem is: how to pick between this one and the workaround ('polling' driver) when the detected OS is 'WIN_NT' ? > The problem is, there's no simple way of distinguishing between NT and > W2K from a DJGPP program. I'm just trying to find one ! It was reported that the 'polling' driver, which uses only direct int33 functions calls, doesn't behave the same under Win2k as it does under Win NT4. This might be an angle of attack... -- Eric Botcazou ebotcazou AT multimania DOT com
