On the Mac you could do this:
put text file on every CD-rom on the same position. It can have any name
lets say its called ID.
Now repeat through all volume names of your CD set and do the following:
repeat with volumeName in ["MyCD1", "MyCD2", "MyCD3", "MyCD4"]
if baFileExist(volumeName & ":ID" then exit repeat
end repeat
volumeName now holds your volume name.
Or, much simpler, you can put the volume name in a text file and put that
on every CD-Rom. Just name the files the same and read the *contents* of
the file.
No Xtra needed and crossplatform too!

The OSControl Xtra
This sprite Xtra draws various UI-controls like push buttons, bevel
buttons, checkboxes, scrollbars and now also popup menus/dropdown lists in
the OS appearance on both Macintosh and Windows. Works in Shockwave too!
