Is there a straight forward way in Pascal to determine if
a given volume is ejectable?

I took a look in IM I-V and found several sections that had
something to say about volumes and drives but nothing quite
so simple as to tell me that I can or cannot eject this volume.

I did try a section in the Disk Driver called Status and upon using it
I get a StatusErr which doesn't make me very happy.  Since I am
using it as recommended in IM V (CsCode 23) to find out about the drive.

According to IM V drives are connected dynamically at startup and
I really don't want to go around ejecting Hard-Drives.  I tested using
an Eject on my HardDrive and there was no Error sent.  What happens when
you do Eject the HardDrive volume?  Mine(HD20) seems to work fine after the
call.
