#### VOLSECT Prolog

     Name       : VOLSECT
     Description: Volume ID Storage
     DSECT      : VOLSECT
     Notes      : VOLSECT is primarily used to hold
                  additional user supplied volume ID's. If the
                  user supplied more than 16 volume ID's storage
                  is obtained for a VOLSECT which can hold 24
                  additional volume ID's. The field 'LABVSECT' in
                  LABSECT points to the first VOLSECT. Additional
                  VOLSECTs are forward pointed to by the field
                  'VOLNSECT' contained in the first 4 bytes of a
                  VOLSECT.
