I would like to change the disc volume names of a large number of discs. I have a program which will do it, but it requires execution from scratch for EACH disc. Does anyone have a program which will allows one to do the job more simply? OR, does anyone know which disc sector/track the volume name is located in? OR, I could write my own program (using ABSOFT fortran) is only I could find a reference to the volume name; does anyone know what the required routine is since I can't seem to find it. If you have anything, please either post it, or send it via BITNET or SPAN. Thanks in advance. Steve Shawl BITNET: shawl@kuhub.cc.ukans.edu SPAN: kuphsx::shawl

I have a copy of such such a program, done by Roland Waldi. He posted it to the net some time ago, so it should be available on many servers. If you want it, write to me. I wrote a little gulam shell that uses VOL to change the VOLUME ID on many disks, numbering them consecutively. Sort of dumb, I guess, but I have things like LJD.101, LJD.102, and so on. If you want it, write. My only criticism of Mr. Waldi's find program is that I have to press the RETURN key. I think that he anticipated use from the desk top, however I prefer use from the GULAM shell. -- L. J.
