[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Volume label

I've been wondering what would happen if you had a volume label appear
in a subdirectory.  Or what would happen if you had more than one
volume label ?  Has anybody tried ?

First off the DOS program that lets you create the volume label always puts
it in the root directory.  Even if you managed to put one anywhere with
something like Nortons, DOS is going to look in the root directory to list
it.  I don't know what happens when doing a DIR on a subdirectory that conatins
one.  An interesting experiment.
