Perhaps something > like doscmd does so that you don't need to boot. Huh? This isn't the problem so much as DOS-C doesn't support the concept of anything other than block-addressed media. You can't tell it about a drive that doesn't exist as a BIOS device, so you can't catch file operations on such a device (because it doesn't exist). The DOS emulation that doscmd does is at a *much* higher level. "embedding" a DOS kernel wouldn't help much there at all - you'd just about have to gut it completely to make it worthwhile. mike
