- short: determine filesystem used by volumes in system

- This utility is a small, pure, CLI-only replacement for an old utility
- called FsInfo. DiskType is 20% of the size of FsInfo, and doesn't try to be
- an Info clone. It just tells you what you want to know - if a disk is DCFS,
- FFS or OFS. Mainly localized - it uses DOS for strings. Much less memory
- intensive than FsInfo, which tries to Lock() on every handler in the system,
- consuming up to 50K on a normal WB setup which you then need to Flush...
-
- DiskType is completely safe - it makes its own private copy of the volume
- list, so it doesn't cause any deadlocks.
