Hi Graeme!

My tool already works. At least the basic functions, at the moment I'm
about to extend it on the CDROMAUDIO-commands.

Actually there is an undefined IOCTL which IBM mentions in the docs but
they forgot to define it in the header files:

APIRET CDCloseTray (HFILE hCDROM)
{
#define CDROMDISK_CLOSETRAY 0x45                     /* Bug in toolkit */
  return (CDGenericIO (hCDROM, IOCTL_CDROMDISK, CDROMDISK_CLOSETRAY));
} /* APIRET CDCloseTray */

I can't test it on my equipment - my CDROM uses caddies.
