I would like to be able to access the drives d: through h: while on c: via directory paths. For example, "cd c:\d" brings me to d:\, and "type c:\d\file" will actually display d:\file. This is exactly the converse of what the DOS "subst" command allows. Is there any commercial/public domain software that allows me to do this? If not, any suggestions on how I can write a program to do this? I'm not sure about DOS 3.30, but my DOS 4.01 system has JOIN which does exactly this. If you go for DOS 4.01, you won't need half a dozen drives... /* * * Otto J.
