1. [GEN] what drives present in system
Using Euphoria, how can I find out what drives are present in the users
system, and whether any non-fixed disk drives have a disk in them?

Craig Gilbert did a set of routines that may be what you're
looking for. They're on th RDS page. Here's the URL:

Yes, that would have to be a worry.
I've had the library archived for a while,
I had a quick look at it when it first turned
up, but I still havn't found a need to use it.
The demo runs fine on my win98 box, though.
I just re-ran it a heap of times.
Was it a text message or a windows popup?

Has anyone used Craig's routines for finding out what drives are present in
a system? Reason I ask is that in trying his example, on a W98 system, I
once (but not every time) got a message in the middle of the report about
the drives that asked, "are you sure you want to delete all files?" !!!
Obviously a tad worrisome!

Thanks Graeme,
Looks like you're right, Craig's routines say they check for existence of
drives, and status, among other things.

Graeme,
It was a text message in the dos window, just after some of the other text
that was supposed to show up about the drives, and was similar to a "drive
not ready, abort, retry, etc" message; and it included a "yes/no" response
query. I didn't see anything remotely like that message in the program, so
my suspicion is that the program somehow wrongfully triggered a delete
request?
