   Does anyone know how to tell if a Volume is mounted or not?
I use my own varient of Phillip Lindsay's GetDisk, which scans
through the DeviceLists (headed by DevInfo) and reports all the
Volume names.  But I can't figure out where in the DeviceList
structure the flag for mounted or not-mounted is maintained.  It
must be there somewhere because the CLI's INFO command can tell.
   So if I give you either a volume name, or a pointer to a
DeviceList (eg from the Volume field in a lock), how could I
determine whether the volume was mounted?  Thanks very much
for any information.
   [In case this is unclear, put wbench (with C:) in df0:, cd to
a floppy in df1:, then eject df1: and type INFO.  You'll see that
the disk name for the disk formerly in df1: is printed, but it does
not say "Mounted" next to it].

ps: On another topic, Thanks very much for all the responses to my
'clever' note on how to decrease Lattice code size.  Gosh, I never
knew that changing LIBRARY lc.lib,amiga.lib to LIBRARY amiga.lib,lc.lib
could make so much of a difference!  What a fool I was!  Well, as those
with mud on our faces always say, if you don't ask, you'll never learn...
