Getting information about a CDROM

CDINFO will retrieve the VTOC of a CDROM which includes the ID, NAME, and DATE of the CDROM
Version: 1.10b
Author: Ben Lunt (Forever Young Software)
Date: 22 Nov 1999
Assembler: NBASM

CDINFO will not display the ID, Name, or Date of an Audio disc because they are 'formatted' differently.

;    a small util to check for the MSCDEX driver and get
;    the CDs ID, Name, and date given.
;   See end of this source for info on the VTOC
