B8002 - How do I tell the name of the CD-ROM on a Macintosh?
by - Joseph Ganci
How do I detect whether I have a certain CD in my drive on the Mac. I've seen the examples but they all seem to be for the PC. Is there a thing called "CDDetect" a DLL or something?
Does it come as an XCMD?
There are XCMDs that will tell you the name of the CD-ROM drive. However,
you may try an internal Authorware solution that will work if you are running
your application from a CD-ROM.
If you are, then you can use the FileLocation variable to know the name of the
CD-ROM. Each character starting with the first and ending with but not including
the first colon comprises the name of the CD-ROM:
cdrom := SubStr(FileLocation,
1, find(":", FileLocation))
