I'm trying to get the name of the device ("DF0:") given the name of
the volume ("Empty").  I'm sure that SOME bit of software knows how to
do this, but I sure can't figure it out.  Right now, I'm running thru
the device list until I find the volume node with the right name.
Then I look at node->dn_Task->mp_SigTask->tc_Node.ln_Name.  This has
two problems: 1) It seems like the wrong way of doing it.  2) It does
not seem to work for non-mounted devices; i.e., for floppy drives and
such.  AmigaDOS obviously does this somehow, but I don't know how.
Can somebody give me a clue?    -- Darren
