   What does it do?

Well it checks which drive is the default drive and it can also set the 
default drive. In addition it can return the amount of logical drives present, 
but this is not quite reliable at this release. I'll write a better procedure 
for that part before the next release. The advantage it has is that it can put 
the information in exit codes, which You can use in your batch files.

   How to make it do what it can?

    The switches

You can use both slashes (/) and minuses (-) before the commands.

To get the default drive just issue 'drives /g' and you have the default 
drive, either on the screen or in exit codes. The equals for the exit codes 
would be 0 for A: 1 for B: 2 for C: and so on.. 

To set a drive to the default drive use 'drives /e x' where x is the drive. 
The exit code if successful is 50 or 80, on error 255. 

If you want to know the amount of logical drives present use 'drives /n' 
It will return the amount in exit codes. 

You can make dRIVES silent with the /s or /q switch 
E.g. drives /sg 

To get my email address you issue the command drives /c.
If you need help then just drives /h.

    The magic it can do in a batch file

If You would like a batch file to do something specific when a drive is the default drive, You could
use a batch file similar to this below.

- -------cut--
@echo off
drives /sg
IF ERRORLEVEL = 2 GOTO ccc
IF ERRORLEVEL = 1 GOTO bbb
IF ERRORLEVEL = 0 GOTO aaa
GOTO END
:aaa
rem Whatever You wish to do when the default drive is A:
GOTO END
:bbb
rem Whatever You wish to do when the default drive is B:
GOTO END
:bbb
rem Whatever You wish to do when the default drive is C:
GOTO END
:END
- -------cut--

   It did not work?

It is not so very much I can do with that. Maybe you had some 
Antivirus utile running that blocked dRIVES or maybe some
other security utile on your system, if you encounter this more
than once, please mail me and tell about it. 

Note !! dRIVES will give the exit code 255 on an error.

   What does it mean that this file is PGP signed?

I have signed this file and drives.com (drives.sig) with my PGP
signature, so that You have the opportunity to check wherever
some one has changed these files before you got them. Please report
by mail to me if they where. You can get my PGP public key
from my web page and public key servers.
