    Making a directory (possible?)

    Can you make a directory. Say I want a place where I can save everything. Like put it in C:// or something, but altogether? Is it possible?

    for making a directory under DOS in C++,

    Code:
    Interrupt based...
     
       use intdos() -- works under interrupt no. 0x21
    
    input : ah=0x39
    ds;dx=segment:offset address of dir name
    
    Shell execution based:
    
        use system();
    
    Library based:
        
         use mkdir(); under dir.h

    MSDN is the best place to go for info on WinAPI functions. Try here.
