Is there a ATA Password (atapwd) command line version ?

Hi all,
First of all, congratulations to the Ultimate Boot CD creators. Putting all those useful tools together is an excellent idea.
My request is the following one :
I discovered the atapwd (ATA Password) tool which can set password at the hard-disk controller level. In facts, I would like to allow/disallow users (of my family) to access one disk or one other.
In order to do this, I would like to write a DOS menu GUI which would ask the user for a password for booting a specified disk. In order to do this, I would need a command line version of a tool like "atapwd" (the GUI is blocking and not really easy to use for a novice) which would be invoked by my DOS GUI.
Do you know if a command-line only version of atapwd exists ?
Do you know if an equivalent tool (ATA password settings) using the command line exist ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
