Here's what I did:

Tried all combinations of join, append, etc., that I thought would redirect
accesses to the second drive. Finally, after prodding, poking, and finally
demanding more info from AOL I got them to to tell me (voice) that the software uses Geos
Ensemble, so nothing will work.  Instead, I just subscribed to PC Link.

The whole situation would have been easier for me if CS Relations would have
told me this in the frist place.  I kept posing options to them, and they just
kept responding with "AOL software requires a single volume with over a meg of
space..."
They just never told me *why*!
