Why did OS2 protected mode drop SUBST.exe my batch files relied
heavily on these "soft" drives?  is there any os2 command equivalent
that I may have missed?

Can it be implemented easily ?

I suppose I can change all references to U: in my batch files to say
%U% and do a SET U=E:\LOCAL\UTIL (or whatever) but this does not give
me the ease (u:myprog) to access these path from the command line
since environment strings are not accessible.

(note: FDISK logical drives are too rigid and won't do the job)

Thank you for any help.
