Now I don't remember the original post--if he's looking for the drive with
the system installed on it, you're right--getOSDirectory() will do it.
If he's looking for a file and he's not certain it is on the boot drive, he
needs to do some finagling. I'm sure you've had to deal with users who have
multiple hard drives and multiple CD-ROM drives installed.
But I don't want to get into a pissing contest with you, Al :-) Let's just
agree that we've both contributed to the discussion, and Kelly can glean
the necessary info from our posts.
Cordially,
Kerry Thompson
