Can anyone tell me how to do asynchronous I/O to/from AmigaDOS files? That is,I want to issue a Read() or Write() request and not block, but be notified with a signal later when the I/O completes. I know that it's possible to send I/O request packets asynchonoushly to any device driver, but I don't want to deal with device drivers, I want to deal with the file system. Isn't there a way to do this? I can't find it in my RKMs. Any help would be appreciated? Thanks Duncan Thomson
