Does anyone out there know of a utility, PD or commercial, which gives the Mac
a logical name facility?  If not, can anyone provide me with what they consider
the steps necessary to create one?  I would like this to work with or without
the existence of networking software such as TOPS, AppleShare, etc.  At first,
I considered patching certain operating system traps, but that seems pretty
kludgy. I would think that there would be a way to muck with the system device
or volume lists (in a safe way), but I'm not sure what's required. Your help
will be very much appreciated.

Mark
