First off, is there any way to name a disk except when you format it? I format boxes of disks at a time and have no way of knowing what will later be on that disk. It seems silly to me that I can't re-name a disk when I put programs on it, so I must be missing the MS DOS command to do it. Second, does anyone know of a disk cataloging program? This will preferably read a directory, then save the name of the disk and it's contents. Later I want to be able to say "where is my frobnigozz.c program that I quit working on 6 months ago?" and have it say "your program is on the disk labeled fred". It would also be nice if it would say "the disk labeled fred is currently under the couch", but I can live without this feature. Another thing I would like it to do is tell me all the programs I have, with several sorting options like alphabetic order, sort by time, sort by post-fix (.c, .com, etc), sort by catagory (editor, compiler, game, etc). Thanks for reading this, and mucho gracias if you respond. Jim Jim Harkins Loral Instrumentation, San Diego {ucbvax, ittvax!dcdwest, akgua, decvax, ihnp4}!sdcsvax!sdcc6!loral!jlh
