The sample program assumes that you don't have some file called
'dummy.tst' floating around on any of the other disks in the system.
Also, does the {$I-} option cause the critical error handler to be
bypassed? If not you will probably get the MS-DOS error about disk
drive not ready if you try to access a floppy disk which does not
have a disk in it. Rather annoying! (I have never used Turbo-Pascal.)
Finally, if Turbo-Pascal gives you access to MS-DOS functions then
executing function 19h - Current Disk will return the current default
disk. Unless I read the request wrong that should give you the
information you need
