I'd like to know how to put volume label with low case characters to
disk. I have a source (TP) for getting & putting label to diskette,
but it doesn't work with hard disk - and it doesn't recognize lower
case letters.

Do I have to put this label first with upper case letters by using
old-fashioned FCB's, then getting the sector by using int 13h/25h
(easy job, anyway) changing the letters in volume ID and put that
modofied sector back? Simple question, wasn't it?! ;-)

If anybody understood and knows how to do it simpler (like Norton's VL
might do is) I'd appreciate to get that info.

Feel free to post this group/e-mail me, and many thanks to those
who'll try!
