Accessing files on CD drives under Windows

[xavier.bury at clearstream.com]

DiskPart is an interactive shell application, like telnet or ftp, it will 
wait for your next input which Rev still can't handle. 
I think i proposed the feature to MetaCard long ago but it is most likely 
not coming.

Also for diskPart to work, you need to select which disk and which 
partition you want to list each time. So just that will fail you...

To find the volume name, you go through each letter in the volumes() 
function and do a 

repeat for each line driveletter in the volumes
  put last word of shell("dir" && driveletter && "| findstr /i  Volume in 
drive") & CR after volumeNameList
end repeat

This will return the line which has the volume name out of the list. 
Normally just the last word but it could be more than one which would make 
the script above a bit more complicated... Left as an excercise ;)

regards,
Xavier
