Hello,

Is there a library for Blitz that has a function that will return hard drive read/write activity status? Or something similar? Any help appreciated. Thanks!

dont know about activity STATUS persay, but you can load with the old openfile("pathname.ext") and read em.

like:

file = openfile("pathname.ext")
if file <>0
   while not eof(file)
    dat=readline(file)
   wend 
endif

And writefile

file = writefile("pathname.ext")
if file <>0
    writeline file,dat
endif

hope that helps.
