- I am using Borland C++4.02 in Windows
-
- I would like to test for the existence of a floppy disk in the A drive.
- How do I do this elegantly? If I try to open a file that I expect to
- be on the floppy, then I get a windows system error and an ugly win3.1
- messagebox pops up. I would like to handle this error with my own code.
- I know it can be done, I've seen WordPerfect do it!
-
- Any hints or ideas will make me eternally grateful.
