PROGRAMMINGIMPORTANT NOTES
        I first tried
	  [[Application workspace] unmountAndEjectDeviceAt:argv[1]];
	but I didn't manage that command to run.

	I also tried the 'unmount(name)' C command but this one doesn't
	change anything in the mount table (/etc/mtab file).
	
	When updating to NS3.2, I had to change /dev/fd0a to /dev/rfd0b


COMMENT
	This program is, of course, for free, but also without any guaranty!
	Just send me an e-mail to tell me that you're using it. Thanks.
