- I am in a position in which I have to implement my own file system
- under DOS 5.0. This file system would be used for one device
- only (the normal DOS drives would also be available). The
- obvious way to do it is to place myself above DOS (Int 21), like
- Netware does. However, it seems like it might be easier to create
- my own "Network Redirector" as described in the Schulman's
- "Undocumented DOS" book.

- Has anyone successfully used this interface (Int 2F, Function 11) to
- create their own "Network Redirector" file system (besides
- the big guys)? Is it documented anywhere besides Schulman's book?
-
- Yes, and no. Undocumented DOS provides enough information to use the
- redirector interface. Do it. Just make sure you don't screw up like
- Microsoft did with Windows for Workgroups and stomp on someone else's
- redirector.
