Tom,

There's no need to reply to this - it's just that I realized in
these wee AM hours that I never thanked you for your pointing
me to the right area. That's why I'm posting this now, because
your reference to the PB downloads section found me an archive
that told me EVERYTHING I needed to be able to interface to
FOSSIL drivers from within my DOS BBS Doors. The name of the
author of the library escapes me, but I believe the archive was
called "pbfossl.zip", or something akin. So, he deserves a lot
of credit, also. With that archive, I was successfully programming
FOSSIL driver stuff with PB/DOS 3.5 within 10 minutes of
downloading it. I didn't directly use the library, as it was
designed for the X00 driver, whereas I use a much more modern
driver (ADF.EXE); however, its techniques were still portable.
They were nothing more than standard DOS services, supported by
DOS....hmmmm.....4.0 and up? Once I read about them, I looked
up the interrupt in my Rolf Brown (sp?) listings, and got more
info.

Thanks, Tom (and to the author of that archive).

Cordially,

There are a couple of likely prospects in the Downloads area:

I will not delete this topic, as I did my earlier ones.

Can anybody point me in the right direction for interfacing to
FOSSIL drivers from a PB/DOS 3.5 program?

Any help will be GRATEFULLY received!

Cordially,
