Subject: Win32 File API

Date: 1997-3-4 15:47

Has anyone implemented the Win32 File API, and is willing to share it? In
particular, I'm interested in asynchronous (overlapped) disk I/O, so I'll
need ReadFile and WriteFile along with all the Events calls, e.g.,
CreateEvent, SetEvent, WaitForSingleObject.

The ACL\PC doc'n implies that the only supported way to get at external
code is through new DLLs. Does the foreign function interface support the
definition of Win32 API calls without the creation of an intermediary DLL
(something like the deftrap of MCL)?
