The one thing you can't do without using FCB functions is to change the volume
label on a disk.  Other than that, I agree with you.  (My interest in this is
for a disk cataloging program which currently runs under DOS or the Ergo DOS
extender.)  The FCB functions which I implemented do not include reading or
writing files.
