Thanks, mare--that's actually the approach I use at the moment, except I'm
using baDiskList() for my volume name list. The problem is that it hits the
floppy drive, zip drive, network drives, etc. On Windows you can skip those
by checking the drive type.

Now that I like :-)
Here's a situation, though. I have a client who wants to use this as a kind
of poor man's copy protection--if the CD isn't in the drive, he doesn't
want the game to run. What's to prevent somebody from simply copying the
name file to their hard drive? I think the average gamer could find an
invisible file in about 10 seconds.
