Developers may obtain a list of filenames from disk, set or retrieve a file time, date, and attributes, determine the total and free space remaining, read and change the default drive, and read and write disk sectors and volume labels directly. Other low level routines provide string and file encryption, file and array searching and sorting, date and time calculations, access to mouse services, EMS memory for data storage, determine hardware information, saving text and graphics images to disk and extensive string manipulation. All of the assembler routines that process strings and string arrays are provided in an alternative version that ignores capitalization. Inc. All rights reserved.
