How can Unix Environment vars provide all of the same features as VMS logicals?
In VMS most of the logicals can be set up as system-wide, such that every
user has the logical in his environment.  There isn't any easy way for me
to force a user to execute a startup script that sets up all of the
environment variables for him.
