What does it do?

Well it checks wherever a disk is removable or not. It returns exit codes 
witch a batch file could use to determine wherever a disk is removable or not.
It can also go TSR and simulate all drives as non-removable or removable.

How to make it do what it can?

The switches

You can use both slashes (/) and minuses (-) before the commands.
To check wherever the default disk is removable or not you could issue
remo /d
To check wherever a specified disk is removable or not use remo /r x
where x is the drive.
To let rEmOvable go TSR and simulate all drives as non-removable use
remo /t1 ., remo /t0 to simulate all drives as removable. 
It will only occupy 928 bytes of memory.
To make rEmOvable silent use /s. 
E.g. remo /sd
To get my email address you issue the command remo /c.
If you need help then just remo /h.

The magic it can do in a batch file

If You would like a batch file to do something specific when a disk is or is 
not removable You could use a batch file similar to this below.

- - -------cut--
@echo off
remo /sd
IF ERRORLEVEL = 1 GOTO bbb
IF ERRORLEVEL = 0 GOTO aaa
GOTO END
:aaa
rem Whatever You wish to do when the default disk is removable
GOTO END
:bbb
rem Whatever You wish to do when the default disk is not removable
GOTO END
:END
- - -------cut--

It did not work?

It is not so very much I can do with that. TSRs tend to be quite
unstable on some systems. And maybe you had some 
Antivirus utile running that blocked rEmOvable or maybe some
other security utile on your system, if you encounter this more
than once, please mail me and tell about it. 

Note !! rEmOvable will give the exit code 25 on an error.

What does it mean that this file is PGP signed?

I have signed this file and remo.com (remo.sig) with my PGP
signature, so that You have the opportunity to check wherever
some one has changed these files before you got them. Please report
by mail to me if they where. You can get my PGP public key

History

rEmOvable V.0,01. Released on Friday the 13th of December 1996.
First version, worked fine. However, it had just the capability
to check wherever a disk was removable or not.

rEmOvable V.0,02. Beta Released on Sunday the 12th of January 1997.
I had a request for a version that could simulate drives as 
non-removable so I wrote a TSR that was capable of that. However
the memory handling was rather poor.

rEmOvable V.0,02. Released on Friday the 17th of January 1997.
Full working version, witch is capable of simulating drives as
non-removable. The memory handling is acceptable.

rEmOvable V.0,03. Beta Level 1 Released on Thursday the 31 of July 1997.
Added CD-ROM recognition.

rEmOvable V.0,03. Released on Thursday the 31 of July 1997.
Added Simulation for removable drives

Future

Well, when I get time I will really be looking further in to my
memory handling procedures. I'll add a procedure of removing the
TSR part out of the memory and I'll probably also add opportunities
to only simulate selected drives as non-removable.

Comments, Improvements

If you have some mail them to me.
