- Is there any message or service call passed around when a new FS
- starts up? I want to keep a list of current filing systems, but
- don't want to have to keep polling for known FSs. Its for RISC OS 2,
- a soon-to-be released utility thingy. Should work under RISC OS 3
- too when I get it. Alternatively, is there any system call I can
- legally intercept to monitor when an FS starts up and when it dies.
-
- I don't want to rely on anything to do with the FS filer.

- Ta,
