Tom,
Among many features, new commands, enhancements and
bug-fixes, The Glorious R:BASE 2000 (ver 6.5++) for
Windows, to be released on June 15, 2001, includes the
following, to take care of those issues and more.
01. (CVAL('Drives'))
Returns the list of currently available drives,
including the mapped network or removable drives.
Example:
SET VAR vDrives = (CVAL('Drives'))
vDrives will include the list of ALL drives!
Result: aCDeF
In that list of drives, drives with CAPITAL letters,
such as C,D or F would be the hard disk drive, and
drives with lower case letters would be removable
drives, such as a or e.
a = floppy disk drive
C = Hard Disk
D = Hard Disk/CD-ROM/DVD
e = zip disk
F = Hard Disk/CD-ROM/DVD or even mapped network drive
All hard drives, including CD-ROM/DVD and network mapped
drives would be CAPITAL letters.
All removable drives, including floppy disk drives and
zip drives would be lower case letters.
02. (GETVAL('GetDriveReady','driveletter'))
Example:
SET VAR vReady = (GETVAL('GetDriveReady','A'))
Result: False if not ready, True if ready.
03. (GETVAL('GetVolumeID','driveletter'))
Example:
SET VAR vVolumeID = (GETVAL('GetVolumeID','C'))
Will return the label name of drive C.
The sky is no longer the limit!
You're only limited by your knowledge and imagination!
Very Best Regards,
Razzak.
PS. All CURRENT and DEDICATED Beta Testers have been
testing these functions since January 28, 2001.
