Drive Divertor - Written by Stuart Coates
        
                          Version 1.10 - 19 August 1991
        
        
        
        The  Drive Divertor allows you to run software that  is  designed 
        for  floppy  only  systems to be ran on a  hard  disk.   This  is 
        achieved by intercepting any disk accesses at GEMDOS level before 
        the Operating System gets its hands on them.   When a command  is 
        intercepted it is examined to see if it needs diverting,  it  not 
        the  command is executed as normal otherwise it is  modified  and 
        then executed.
        
        Compatibility:
        
        The  Drive  Divertor  gets  its hands on  disk  accesses  by  re-
        directing  the TRAP #1 vector.   If you have any  other  programs 
        that alter this vector (QuickST,  TurboST,  and some disk caches) 
        then  I recommend that they are ran (in the AUTO  folder)  before 
        the  divertor so that they don't interfere with any registers  or 
        stack data.   The divertor should be compatible with all versions 
        of TOS since it preserves all registers and stack  contents,  and 
        makes  no  un-documented  calls  (it's  STe  friendly).   If  you 
        discover  a  program  that doesn't work with  the  divertor  then 
        please  let me know and if possible send me a copy so that I  can 
        fix the problem.
        
        The  Drive Divertor will not work with programs that  access  the 
        disk controller directly like some copiers and emulators do.  Any 
        program  that  uses  'Standard' Atari TRAP  #1  calls  should  be 
        intercepted without any problem.

        Program History:
        
        Version 1.00 - 17 August 1991
        
        Version 1.10 - 19 August 1991
        
        A  problem  was  found  with  programs  that  TRAP  #1  while  in 
        supervisor mode - this problem has been fixed.
        
        Divertor  now  works  on  the ST's  desktop  -  diverting  almost 
        anything.   If you divert drive C: -> F: and then double click C: 
        a directory of F: will appear.
        
        GEMDOS  functions  $36  and  $47 (Dfree  and  Dgetpath)  are  now 
        intercepted correctly.
