Thanks for the kudos, but everyone should be aware that when I wrote the
original assign program I didn't know about the way dos allocated memory.
I had rewritten it, and ARP came out with C. Heaths assembler version of
my code. So if you want to use the C Assign as a replacement for Assisn
then be aware that the DeviceList and dl_Name data should be allocated 
DOS style. [(ULONG *)ptr - 1 == length]

These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
