Can anyone suggest a way to determine the startup drive's identity? The File Manager Programmer's Guide in IM warns you not to unmount the startup drive, but it doesn't tell you how to identify it. I know about GetVol, but it reports the default drive, and that may not always be the startup. Currently I am using GetVInfo for both drives and avoiding unmount on either, but it seems to me that there ought to be a better way. Vic Abell, abe@asc.purdue.edu or ...!pur-ee!pucc-j!abe
