Larry, After reviewing the documentation I have on AmigaDOS, it appears that there is a way to get access to the sector contents. Even though I have used FileLocks before, somehow I never noticed the field in the FileLock which contains the disk block number. Now all I need to do is get more information about the DOS packet ACTION_GET_BLOCK. From the name it appears that this packet lets you access the complete block contents, but I have found no documentation about this packet. Thanks for encouraging me the other night to take another look at the DOS. It sure will be alot easier if DOS meets my needs than worrying about different device drivers. <Glenn
