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.
