VOL-2 is a CP/M utility that will allow you to create a volume label on
your disks.  This volume label may be used to identify the contents of
the disks.  It also allows you to label your disk for use with file
catalog programs.


Purpose:   Allows you to create, modify, or display a volume label on a
           disk.

Syntax:    [d:][ser][volume label]
           [*]
           [?]


Comments:  Specify the parameters:

                d: specifies the drive letter of the disk you want to
                label or display the label.

                If no drive letter is specified, the logged in drive is
                assumed.

                ser is a three digit numeric value to identify the disk.

                volume label is a free form description of the disk.  If
                omitted the existing volume label is displayed.

                If a star (asterisk) is specified, all drives are
                displayed.

                If a "?" is specified, a short help message is displayed.

Examples:       VOL-2 001 06/12/86 MASTER CP/M

                This command will create a file on the logged in disk with
                a name of "-VOLUME.001", the volume label record will be
                "001 06/12/86 MASTER CP/M".

                VOL-2 B:

                This command displays the volume label record on drive B.


Notes:

        VOL-2 reads the CP/M command line, and if a description is
        present, will create a one sector file.  The format of the
        filename is "-VOLUME.ser".  If no description is present the
        disk will be searched for a file "-VOLUME.???", that file
        will be read, and the contents displayed to the VDT.

        To give the disk a volume label, type the command name "VOL",
        followed by label you want and press enter.

        Ser, (serial) is used to form the extension of the filename:
        "-VOLUME.ser".

        If a star follows the command name all disks are searched up to
        the "MAXDRV" value in the program, currently set to "2".  This
        value is located at 103H of the COM file and may be modified
        with DDT or the like.

        The file is created in the user area specified by the "DFTUSR"
        value in the program, located at 104H.


VOL.COM was written in Z80 assembly language (Originally in 'C', but it
was too slow), and compiled with the SLR Z80 assembler.  Because I don't
have the SLR Z80 assembler, this version is written in 8080 ASM code.

Obviously, I'm not just dropping this on the board for free, for no
reason at all.  I am a professional systems programmer, and want to
spread my name around.  If you or someone you know needs some
programming work done.  Please call me at (301)-831-5228.  Thank you.
