   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.
