I have a program which writes a log file on a network drive.  Occasionally the
network drive (NFS) generates

General Failure on Drive D: 
Abort, Retry, Fail?

If I answer retry, the write usually succeeds and the program continues.

How can I force the retry AUTOMATICALLY without requiring user intervention?
Is there a stream I can redirect so this message gets input from a file (in
which I would just put a whole bunch of R's)?

I'm working with Borland C and MSDOS 5.0.

Thanks,
Jan
