    I am writing a Windows DLL.  How does my program interrogate the floppy
drive to discover whether or not there is a disk in the drive?  If
possible, I would rather not have to pick up the C run time library.  I'm
using MS C 7.0.  

    If your solution requires the run time library, I'd need some Makefile
help.  The Makefile I'm using is straight out of the book for writing
DLLs.

Thanks,

Neil Kirby
