Message-ID: <118@loral.UUCP> Date: Thu, 10-May-84 13:41:50 EDT Article-I.D.: loral.118 Posted: Thu May 10 13:41:50 1984 Date-Received: Sat, 12-May-84 12:44:14 EDT References: <256@intelca.UUCP>, <117@loral.UUCP> Organization: Loral Instruments, San Diego Lines: 10 A note of caution re my last discussion: if SELDSK checks for disk type (?S/?D), it should do so only when there is a real chance the disk has been changed. Many programs rapidly bounce from one logical disk to another (I have been known to assemble long source files from one disk for source, another for object and still another for listing). The number of unneccessary type checks in this case would be staggering.
