Hi Ken,

Thanks a lot for this function!!! :-)

Now i suspect that this machine has
a damaged installation of Windows 98
because this code does not produce
any result... 

I try the same commands from the DOS command promt
and the last words of line 1 effectively
contains the name of the CD.

Is Time to reinstall the OS? or
Could i troubleshoot this machine in
another way?

Thanks again.

Happy New Year!! :-))
