I have run into a problem using DBASE IV where the disk has
lost clusters if the user does a CNTL-ALT-DEL. What we would like 
to do is either "trap" these keystrokes and then correct the
state of the disk before issuing a "reboot" or find some way of
making DBASE behave itself. Ashton Tate hasn't been much help, so
I thought that I would turn to the net.

Does anyone have some assembler code, or know of a source for 
this code that we could have? The code needs to be able to 
at least trap CNTL-ALT-DEL and prevent the command from being
issued, or of course still better is the situation described above, 
where the code traps the command, issues a number of other commands 
that reset the disk, and then warm boots the system. Please
email me since I don't read this group.
