- VOLNUM.ZIP Jay Parsons, CIS 70160,340
- Dated: March 2, 1993
- Version: 1.1
-
- Enclosed are these files:
-
- Volnum.asm source code for a dBASE .bin to read disk
- volume label or ID number.
-
- Volnum.bin same thing made into the .bin.
-
- Read.me This file.
-
- This .bin should be called with two arguments, precluding use
- in dBASE III+. The first argument should contain the drive letter of
- the drive for which the disk volume label or ID number are wanted.
- Obviously, there must be a disk in the drive or DOS will complain.
-
- The first argument should be a variable so that the information
- may be returned in it, and should be 11 characters long.
-
- The second argument should be "V" for the volume label or "N"
- for the ID number.
-
- Example: Load VOLNUM
- Arg1 = "B" + space( 10 )
- call VOLNUM with arg1, "N"
- ? Arg1
-
- The label or number found will be returned in the first
- argument. This WILL NOT work sensibly for disks not formatted under
- DOS 5.0 or higher. If it does not work, you should get a blank return
- if no label or ID exists. If an error occurs in a DOS call made by the
- .bin, you should get back "DOSerror 05" or the like, with the number
- indicating the error code returned by one of the DOS calls.
-
- Not warranted merchantable, fit for any purpose or anything
- else.
-
- Please report bugs or other difficulties or suggestions for
- improvements to:
