There is a problem with the Borland C++ absread().  After spending
an entire night trying to get it to work I found that the DOS
interrupt utilities for absolute read and write handle the
arguments differently depending on the DOS version ie. 3.3 vs 4.01.
I ended up writing my own AbsRead() and AbsWrite().  I'm at home
now and the code is on my machine at the office.  I'll post the
source when I get back from Comdex.
