I am using a weird sort of unix news instead of nice Vax news since they knocked usenet off of our system so I hope this attempt at posting doesn't fry. I am trying to find a way to get the label off of a diskette soap and water seems to ruin it seriously, though it seems easy to get the file specs/pathspecs/bytes free and not but nowhere does any help file mention labels and extracting them from a disk I am running TP5.5 if that help and any help would be appreciated thanks St10t@jetson.uh.edu Avijit the Ghosh Someone asked me for the shrink version of pkunzip/zip and I lost the address of this person as my account got accidently deleted (those adminstrators have a sense of humor don't they) but whoever asked for it, can mail me again! However, I was wandering aimlessly on garbo.uwasa.fi looking for relevent things and I thought I saw the complete pascal source for ZIP and UNZIP but then again it could be an Hallucination

Assuming you mean volume label, just call FindFirst ("\*.*",VolumeID,srchrec);,
although that's for the current drive, specify a drive letter if you want a
different drive, and then you want to look for the '.' in the srchrec.name
(using Pos) and delete it (using delete), and you've got it! This works even
on Dos 4.01 where the volume label is stored in the boot record, it also
appears to be stored in the root directory.
