  7. * This is a short (92 byte) utility you can use to turn off the annoying DOS *
  8. * requesters. Running it once turns the requesters off, and running it again *
  9. * turns them back on.                                                        *
  10. *                                                                            *
  11. * The best place that I can see to use this would be around IF statements;   *
  12. * for example :                                                              *
  13. *                                                                            *
  14. * NoReq                             ; Turn requesters off                    *
  15. * If EXISTS DH0:                    ; Check for DH0:.. if not there, DOS     *
  16. *                                   ; would normally throw us a requester    *
  17. *   Execute DH0:S/HD-Startup                                                 *
  18. * EndIf                                                                      *
  19. * NoReq                             ; Turn requesters back on                *
  20. *                                                                            *
  21. * Or if you are diskcopying from DF0: to RAD: for example. DOS normally      *
  22. * throws up a requester, waits a second or so and then takes it away again.  *
  23. * Annoying, so you would run NoReq around the diskcopy command.              *
  24. *                                                                            *
  25. * NoReq can even be made resident, so you can use it hundreds of times in    *
  26. * your startup-sequence without increased disk access.                       *
  27. *                                                                            *
  28. * Enjoy!                                                                     *
