LABEL (Volume Label) COMMAND

Purpose:   Allows to create, change and delete the volume label on a disk.

Syntax:    [d:] [path] LABEL [d:] [label]

Type:       External command

Parameters:

[d:] [path] before the command, defines the drive and the path to the
            LABEL command.

[d:]        defines the drive, with which the LABEL command will work.
            If the drive is not specified, the command uses the default
            drive.

[label]     is a name you can specify for a disk. A volume label
            may be up to 11 characters. The volume label can be also
            created by the FORMAT/V command. If you do not specify the
            label in the LABEL command, the following message will be
            displayed:

            Volume in drive x is xxxxxxxxxxx
            Volume label /11 characters; Enter for none/?

     If you want to change the existing volume label, you should type a new
one and press [Enter]. A new volume label will be written on the place of
the previous one.

     To delete the volume label you should press [Enter].  The command will
display this message:

       Delete current volume label (Y/N)?

     If you type [Y] (for 'yes'), the command deletes the volume label on
the disk.

     If a volume label is longer then 11 characters, the rest characters
will be ignored.

Examples:

1. How to create a volume label on a disk:

         A>label a:address

2. To label a hard disk with the name FIXEDISKC, type:

         A>label c:fixediskc

3. To change the volume label ADDRESS by the label PROGRAMS, type:

         A>label a:

         Volume in drive A is ADDRESS
         Volume label /11 characters, Enter for none/?

Type "PROGRAMS" and press [Enter].

4. The following command deletes volume label of a diskette in drive A:

         A>label a:

         Volume in drive A is PROGRAMS
         Volume label /11 characters, Enter for none/?

Press [Enter]. The following message will be displayed:

         Delete current volume label (Y/N)?

If you press [Y] and [Enter], the command will delete the volume label on
a disk.

Warning: The LABEL command doesn't work on drives used in SUBST, ASSIGN
         commands and on drives over a network.
