  I've been developing a large application which until recently was a stand
alone product. There now exists a requirement to integrate this application
into a networked system. Originally I thought I may be able to simply map onto
a server drive and redirect my file accesses to that drive, but it seems I use
some turbo functions that don't work over the LAN. This DG StarLAN system is to
be used for random access record reads & writes. I know DiskSize doesn't work,
and I assume there is a list of other standard DOS level functions that don't
work, but without having the MSDOS Technical Ref Manual I don't know which.
Could someone provide a quick list of which functions I should stay away from,
or be careful with ?
(p.s. the current application seems to 'hang' at location $E466:0777, if that
means anything to anyone ...)
