- Some time ago somebody asked for re-labeling of disks after format.
- Here is a useful utility to do this (works on floppies and harddisks).
- It may also be used to get the most important information about
- this disk. Since I have no access to the ...binaries... groups, and
- I suppose others on Bitnet don't have as well, I post this to the
- digest. BTW: What is the use to have extra ...binaries... and
- ...sources... lists, if they are available only to a restricted group
- of users? There are other sites of this type, e.g. UH-INFO or
- CANADA01 on "my" side of the net (BITNET/EARN). Just there (UH-INFO)
- I have posted a longer file/disk-listing program "INSPEC".
- This is about 22K, so I hesitate to send it here. If you cannot access
- UH-INFO, tell me where to send it to reach more people. Even better:
- Tell me of a site that can be accessed from all networks (is this really
- impossible?). -- For now here is the program VOL:
-
- VOL.TTP allows display / deletion / change / creation of volume label
- (plus display of some disk info).
- Call from shell:
-
- VOL <drive> <name>
-
- drive a = A:, b = B:, c = C: etc. (default a, if no arguments given)
-
- name new volume label; the old one is deleted, if existing.
- if you only want to delete the label, use a minus (-) as
- name. If <name> is omitted, only label + info is displayed.
-
- warnings: when a label is deleted, GEMDOS buffers are
- reinitialized for the corresponding drive; as a consequence
- any open files are lost. So DON'T USE IT within a program
- having still files on this drive open!
-
- examples: VOL = display info for floppy A:
- VOL F = display info for disk F:
- VOL b - = display info and delete label for floppy B:
- VOL c HD.C = display info for drive C:, label it 'HD.C'
-
- You may copy the program and use it, but I take no liability
- for any result, and you must not make profit from it without my
- written consent.
-
- Any comments to WALDI at DHDIHEP1.BITNET or F15WAL at DHHDESY3.BITNET.
- (N.B. a message file may be deleted before I see it. If you get no
- response, try again after some time)
-
- Enjoy. Roland Waldi
