/*
**  DRIVSRCH.C - public domain by Marty Connelly, Victoria, BC 1992
**
**  Modified by Bob Stout
**  
**  Routine checks how many valid disk drives are available on machine,
**  both physical and logical drives
*/

/*
**  Includes drive letters assigned with DOS SUBST command
**
**  Networked drives are left as an exercise as I don't have access
**  to them to check.
**
**  The routine uses undocumented DOS interrupt 32H.
**
**  Compatible with MSC 5 and 6, ZTC++, BC++, other DOS compilers
**
**  DS:BX contains the address of the Disk Parameter Block (DPB) for a
**  requested drive. If the drive letter at offset 0 of the DPB doesn't
**  match the requested drive, then the drive has been SUBST'ed.
