Hello, I just have a few questions to pose. BTW: I use Watcom 10.5 (1) I am trying to create a quick text based 80x50 GUI. All I need to create is two "file list boxes" on the left and right, and a set of buttons in between. Nothing moves around on the screen, except the mouse. If anyone can please explain how I might do this, or point me to a reference, I would be most appreciated. (2) Unfortunately Watcom's built in function that tells you how many drives you have on your system is determined by the LASTDRIVE= line in the config.sys. Does anyone have an example of code that I can get EXACTLY how many, and possibly, what type (ie. CDROM, etc) are attached to a computer? (3) What is the best way to perform a file "COPY" instruction? Should I make a call to system(), or should I try to make my program more internal by writing my own "COPY" procedure? If so, what is teh best way to do this? Thanks for taking the time to read these.
