With 360K diskette drives, it can't be done.  I don't know how to do it
for the others (I haven't needed to try).  So, if your .BAT file will
end up being used with 360K diskettes, you won't be able to create a
generic .BNAT file.  Also, the .BAT file itself cannot check for the
diskette, another program would have to be run and an ERRORLEVEL message
returned to the .BAT file.
