I would like to know if a C program will return different error codes if
it reaches the end of a file or reaches the end of a diskette, are these
two things the same or can I tell them apart.

If anyone has an established, or just working, way to save files across
volumes I would like to know, please E-Mail me.  I will post summary if
there is enough interest.

And, yes  now DOS backup does something like this, I am looking for
another way, I need to break .ZIP files across diskettes.

Thanks in advance.

Walden
