CChris,

Thanks, but never mind, I found a "getVolumeInformation()" function
in a set of includes by Austin Cathey in my system, although I haven't yet
re-found it in contributions, where I must have got it from at some time.

That's pretty much what you originally suggested I do!  :)

Thanks for the effort, though.

Dan
