- Sometimes, when devices do not want to dissapear, or when Assign's have the
- same name as a device, or when you want to fake AmigaDOS (or programs), you
- wish you had the tools for it. Well here it is.
-
- There are three executables:
-
- UnMount DEV/a
- ReMount DEV/a
- IsMount DEV/a
-
- The first lets AmigaDOS forget about the given DEV. The device stays in memory,
- and programs with current Lock's on it won't notice the 'forget', but new
- references are impossible.
-
- The second restores the UnMounted device, so that new references can happen
- again.
-
- The last executable makes only sence in batch-files. It will return an OK (0)
- when the given device is mounted. It will return a WARN (5) when the
- devices was unmounted, and it will return ERROR (10) when the device
- is a pseudo-device, and it will return FAIL (15) when the device was not
- locatable. So, make sure the FailAt limit is at least 16 if you do not want
- your batchfile to be stopped.
-
-
- The sourcefiles are also distributed and have the public domain status. So
- do with it what you want.
-
-
- The trick with UnMount is that it builds a new list on one of AmigaDOS yet
- not used entries. This can mean that it may not work anymore someday, but
- at the current improving speed of AmigaDOS it will last sometime.
- Maybe you can change it to a saver place?
