 Did anyone ever find a solution for determining if a CD is loaded on 
 all platforms?
 
 (Specifically all WINDOWS platforms )
 
 I've been thru the archives and Ken Ray's tips, but it looked like 
 you had to download a zip file and install a program, which wouldn't 
 work for a program being distributed, and looking for a CD on the 
 user's drive.
 
 I know you cannot query a specific letter, as different computers 
 will use different letters for the CD drive.  (Why is this?  At work 
 it is G, at home it is D.  Why can't it be like a floppy, always the 
 same letter?)
