Well, at least you've been able to accomplish something productive. 
I've just been plain worthless of late. Meanwhile, Axel appears to have 
hired a small firm to augment his contributions. ;-)

(checking watch, which incidentally is still on 24 hour time; one small 
step for America... :)

Not currently. It's not difficult to find the Joliet volume name, but 
it has to be converted from Unicode to something useful. Is there a 
handy way to do that in the kernel, yet? If not, do you suppose that 
might be something worth adding? I have to admit that non-ASCII 
encodings are a bit foreign to me, being a pampered English-only 
speaker.
