Hi!  I'm working on an "INFO-like" program for the Amiga, and I have
some questions.  (I say "INFO-like" because I want to able to list
all of the disk drives, disks, and/or RAM disks that the INFO command
lists.)  How do I learn this?  Ideally, I'd like a solution which
works on machines which don't have the MOUNTLIST file.  So, how do
I do it?

If it matters, I'm running Aztec C 3.4a, and I'd like this to work
on 1.2 (if possible), 1.3, and later releases.  Pointers to the docs
would be helpful, although I haven't bought any of the 1.3 docs yet.
(Still using 1.2 docs.)

Thanks in advance,
