I am writing a Hard Disk Archiver - which Multi Tasks in RISC OS.

Does anyone know the RISC OS way of signifying a change of disk?

At the moment, I am using *Mount and *Dismount - but this needs some work
to decode the File String Passed to it, and call ADFS:MOUNT or SCSI:MOUNT,
and the Dirve number.

Also, The PRM says that these two commands are provided for compatibility only,
so there must be another way to change the disk.


Thanks for any Help


Gary.
