Disk volume labels in Delphi

This document contains the source code for a unit that is useful forgetting, setting, and deleting volume labels from a floppy or hard disk.The code for getting a volume label uses the Delphi FindFirst function,and the code for setting and deleting volume labels involves calling DOS
interrupt 21h, functions 16h and 13h respectively.  Since function 16h
isn't supported by Windows, it must be called through DPMI interrupt 31h,function 300h.
