Mmm.  I really miss global substs in OS/2, it used to be so easy to
relocate things like BBS file and message bases with one-line changes in
autoexec ..

I'd seen TVFS in passing, and had a closer look at its .inf the other day. 
Looks pretty full on :) but I've not yet tried it out.  Seems like it would
be especially useful on network drives.

Appears to be free software, found here in the EWS area on the Jun96
Hobbes, version 2.09, while Paul Sanders offers 2.10.  Let's know how it
goes?

I also found TVFSLINK.zip, a drag'n'drop linking interface, on Hobbes.

Cheers, Ian
