Hello all,
I want to create my own filesystem on a flash memory card. How can I
open the card as a raw character device?
On a unix-like system I can just open /dev/hdx as a file and do
whatever I want. How can I achieve the same thing under MS DOS or
Windows 98?
Thanks!

filesystems and flash memory cards and raw character devices
are all system-specific, not mentioned by the standard C language.

You'd need to ask in a system specific newsgroup. All that
C provides is fopen() with a "b" modifier on the file mode
(to indicate binary). Determining the correct filename to open
(or whatever else needs to be done to get a hook to the device)
is system specific.

Let me just say, with all sincerity and love:
Off topic. Not portable. Cant discuss it here. Blah, blah, blah.

Thanks, Walter. Apologies for the off-topic post - I wondered if there
was some strange and wonderful system call provided on DOS platforms
that C experts would be familiar with. All the DOS newsgroups seem to
have very little activity.

I'm attempting to open an USB HID device using createfile from kernel32.
The open attempt always fails. This is the call I'm using:
CreateFile(HidName$, &HC0000000, 3, 0, 3, 0 ,0)
HidName$ gets assigned the device:

We have an access db which records daily orders. We would like the orders to

How does one go about synching to/from mobile device? Are there any code

The documentation from MSDN said it could be caused by low system resource

But I am plenty of system resources and I logged in as Admin.
Anyone know how to solve this?

1) Am I correct that C++ does not have a defined character set? In
particular, a platform might not use the ASCII character set?
2) C++ supports wchar_t types. But again, this has no defined
character set? For instance, it might not be a unicode character set?
