How can I obtain the output of a system call in windows?  In particular, I
would like to get the volume serial number of the C: drive, which is
returned by by system call "cmd /c vol C:".  I need more than an integer
saying whether the call succeeded;  I need the text output of the call.

Thanks for your advice.
