Getting the system profile

Nothing that gives me anything I can work with.

There are a lot of things I'd like access to, but urgently, the drive 
letter of the CD ROM and whether media is loaded and either the name 
of the media or files on the media.  This is URGENT.  Urgent as in I 
will have to scrap the project today if I don't find a solution, and 
put out something that is not satisfactory to what it needs to 
accomplish.

There are several other pieces of info I need for projects I am 
working on.  For Mac, I could probably use an XCMD, presumably 
Rinaldi's work in MC.  But this doesn't do much as my programs are 
cross platform.  The objective is NOT to use some 3rd party utility 
that may not be installed on the host computer, but system programs 
that would be.

Ideally I would like access to the serial number of a disk, such as a 
CD, I know that floppies have built in serial numbers.  But I'm not 
holding out hope for this.  At the very least, I need to query that a 
specific CD is loaded, and access files on that CD.
