   Hi,
did anyone have a problem with the absread () routine that comes with
Borland C++ 2.0?  I cannot seem to be able to read the boot sector off
of a hard disk (30M), DOS 3.3).  The funny thing is that, the same code
works just fine when compiled using Turbo C 2.0.  If it did not work
under TC2.0, I would say I got another bug somewhere, but that is not the
case.  Please let me know if anyone has had a similar experience.

Regards,
Tarkan

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.
