Is there a solid way to detect Communications Manager (CM) from a PM
application that must be built as a 16-bit application; i.e., with MS
C6.0, other than parsing CONFIG.SYS to detect CM's directories, or
checking each drive to detect the directories themselves?

I have a method now, but it cannot take into account someone's renaming
the directories created during the CM installation.

Replies may be sent directly to me at cmn@ftp.com, or posted here.

Thanks.
