This method is better yet: it does not require write access to the
device in order to work. (It does require read access: I haven't
found any way around that!) Just be sure that you mark the EXE header
of the program that uses this test to be "longfilename-aware":
int IsFAT (char chDriveName)
{
char szFileSpec[] = "*:123456789";
HDIR hdir = HDIR_CREATE;
USHORT usAttribute = FILE_NORMAL;
USHORT usSearchCount = 1;
FILEFINDBUF findbuf;
USHORT cbBuf;
USHORT usCode;
szFileSpec[0] = chDriveName;
usCode = DosFindFirst (szFileSpec,
&hdir, usAttribute, &findbuf, (USHORT)sizeof(findbuf),
&usSearchCount, 0L
);
if (usCode == 0)
DosFindClose (hdir);
return usCode == ERROR_FILENAME_EXCED_RANGE;
}
