tell me why?
On Windows, full file names have a distinct part which can be recognized
as the volume - e.g.
A:\myfile.txt
C:\Our Documents\Alex\RunRev\play.rev
The "A:" and the "C:" are the "volume" part. For example, on my system,
put the volumes
gives me
A:
C:
D:
E:
F:
Z:
On Mac there is (presumably) something similar.
On Unix the form of a file name is simply
/top/next/another/path/name/part.txt
i.e. there is no part which can be uniquely recognized as a "volume".
