"Taking Charge of DOS Volume Labels" -- Kent Porter
The DOS volume label is one of the least-understood aspects of the
DOS operating system. DOS labels are fairly easy to create but quite
difficult to delete or change, because to do so requires the use of
XFCBs rather than file handles, and the process requires deliberate
corruption of the XFCB. The author explains what labels are for and
how to manipulate them in this necessary but nonintuitive fashion,
and provides a utility, VOLUME.C that creates and modifies volume
labels in the approved DOS fashion.
