Re: [MiNT] Getting drive names in XaAES

[Miro Kropacek <miro.kropacek@gmail.com>]

That means it takes ASCII value of 'a' (0x61) and adds a number to it (ranging from zero to N), i.e. you'll get values of ASCII codes for 'a', 'b', 'c', ... depending on what current drive number is. Then just adds ':' after this character resulting in "a:", "b:" etc strings.

Can someone tell me why this happens:
                       *(info->home_path) = drv + 'a';
                       *(info->home_path + 1) = ':';

or
       defdir[0] = d_getdrv() + 'a';
       defdir[1] = ':';


And is it "not restricted to XaAES"

Cheers
