Using the DOS SUBST command is a great way to shorten path lengths,
thereby getting more executables under your beckon call. . .

UNLESS you are running network software such as Novell Netware,
which sets up its own logical drives.  Eventually I had to discontinue
using SUBST for the benefit of using Netware.  If you are going to
take this route, be sure to delete the LASTDRIVE command from your
config.sys file.
