Sorry to bother everyone, but my address for Dave Haynie bounced.

When adding yet another assign to my startup-sequence yesterday
I remembered seeing your BindNames come across the net a few
months back.  I grabbed it an installed it and voila! a great
program.  I did have a couple of problems with it that I thought
you might be interested in...
 
1) BindNames does not support names containing blanks, either
with or without quotes.  Solution--don't do that.

2) This one is fairly serious.  My boot disk is a stripped-down
workbench disk and has no FONTS directory.  When I tried to
run bindnames the computer hung up when it hit the entry for
FONTS--I had to reboot to start over.  I found if I made a
FONTS directory (just a directory no entries) on my boot disk
BindNames worked ok.   

I thought you might like to know about the problem--especially
the second one which seemed pretty serious.

BTW--BindNames really is nice.  Thanks.
