- Hi there,
-
- I am interested in doing file operations from a CONFIG.SYS loaded device
- driver at BOOT time to load configuration information.
-
- It is obviously possible as QEMM'S LOADHI.SYS must read other device
- drivers and the OPTIMISE command causes LOADHI to write statistics to a file.
-
- What contortions are required to do this safely , and what limitations are
- involved ( if any ) ?
-
- Thanks in advance,
-
