NAME
    StartNotify -- Starts notification on a file or directory (V36)

SYNOPSIS
    success = StartNotify(notifystructure)
    D0                          D1

    BOOL StartNotify(struct NotifyRequest *)

FUNCTION
    Posts a notification request.  Do not modify the notify structure while
    it is active.  You will be notified when the file or directory changes.
    For files, you will be notified after the file is closed.  Not all
    filesystems will support this: applications should NOT require it.  In
    particular, most network filesystems won't support it.

INPUTS
    notifystructure - A filled-in NotifyRequest structure

RESULT
    success - Success/failure of request

BUGS
    The V36 floppy/HD filesystem doesn't actually send notifications.  The
    V36 ram handler (ram:) does.  This has been fixed for V37.
