	Greetings. I have a question:

	How would one go about accessing a 335MB hard disk using
	Turbo C? More specificaly, are there any special "things"
	one must do when a hard drive in above the 32MB limit?

	I realize that Dos 4.01 handles partitions larger than 32MB,
	but how would I do that from Turbo C.

	(I am thinking of writing an inventory program for a
	friend who has a warehouse... I have a feeling we will
	need around 500MB of storage.)

	Any recomendations?

	Take care. (Please e-mail and I'll summarize)

	P.S. will "long int" still work for random files?
