First off, is there any > way to name a disk except when you format it? Under DOS 2.x, no. They finally got around to adding a disk labelling program in DOS 3.0. The Norton Utilities include a disk labeller, and if you are really using boxes of floppies, you probably should get a copy to repair scruffled disks anyway. > Second, does anyone know of a disk cataloging program? The IBM Personally Developed Software catalog has such a program for about $20. It probably works -- everything else I've tried from that catalog does. Call 1-800-IBM-PCSW to get the catalog. It also occurs to me that for the cost of about 25 or 30 boxes of floppies, you could get yourself a hard disk and avoid much of this trouble. John Levine, ima!johnl
