Finding the CD Drive

[Gary Rathbone]

The method I've used in the past is to get a volume list - volumes() and use
a repeat loop to search for a 'unique' file eg x:\monte456 which would only
exist on the CD. When you've found the file, you've found your 'active' CD
volume. 

I've searched the archives for a better solution but can't find one.

Regards
