and then asked for a general purpose hit counter.  I didn't find one (though
I was told that PCKwik (sp?) comes with one tailored to it), so I ended up
writing a simple one myself.  It comes in two versions:  a device driver
and a TSR.  Neither one does anything but hook to the BIOS disk read
interrupt and keep count of requests.  A third program looks through
memory for copies of the others, and reports what they've found.
Anyone who wants a copy please email me; I'll collect together responses
and mail out copies in a week or so.

By the way, I haven't done a detailed comparison yet, but MS SMARTDRV and
Mace MCACH-EM seem to perform about equally.
