 [ Quoting David Bowerman to Scott Little ] 
 DB> Personally, I simply use UNC names which makes your point moot
Some programs have problems with this. Especially when they try to figure
out an environment variable of set chat=\\coco\bbs\ra\doors\icechat
There's also the problem of programs expecting to be able to make/read files
from the current directory.
 DB> \\w95peer\e and the kids are \\rugrats\e and \\rugrats\f.  Works like
 DB> a charm.  No comments on the lack of imagination in computer and
I like 'rugrats' :)
Regards,
 - Scott
