 SL> You mean like warp3 doesn't even let you choose your own CDROM drive

 KA> Gee, Scott, Windows won't let me choose the drive letter I want for my
 KA> hard drive partitions
Thats why I use SUBST or NET USE to map certain parts of it to X Y and Z
 KA> Should I whine and complain about this as if it were actually a problem?
It *IS* a problem, becaue I WANT TO DO IT.
 KA> Won't let me choose a letter for my floppy drives, either
SUBST it then
 KA> This is a non-problem.
If I want to do it, then it is a problem if I can't. Stop trying to avoid the
argument by trying to make it look irrelevant.

You are SO FAR OFF it is not funny. I am running a BBS, and I have two
computers. To save me from changing around 390 areas whenever the CDROM
letter changes, I assign it to drive I, which stays constant. The other
reason is that when I log in from my computer (not telnet), the MAPed letter
must be the same as it is on the BBS computer (I on this one, and I on the
other one). If the BBS computer happens to have only C drive, making the 
DROM
D, and my computer has CD and E HDDs, then I have a bit of a problem, don't 

File systems and multiple OS' on the one computer are not the problem.
 KA> just to  much like work, and whine, whine, whine....
The only one whining is you. 
 KA> Don't need a kludge to work around a non-problem.
It is a problem FOR ME. Just because you don't need a set drive letter 
oesn't
mean the rest of the world doesn't.
