Lantastic can, sort of. If you attach (via a drive letter) to the '.' network 
resource on a Lantastic server, instead of to an individual resource; every 
resource on that server will be a subdirctory of the drive letter you 
attached with. For instance, if I attach my D: to the . - Network Directory 
in the partial screen segment below, I could access drive A on the server as 
D:\A-Drive, drive C on the server as D:\C-Drive, a Lotus resource on the 
server as D:\Lotus, etc.

 ::Directory     Access Rights  Description
 :LMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
 ::.             RWCMLDKNEA--   Network directory
 ::A-DRIVE       RWCMLDKNEA--   Drive A Floppy Disk
  (more resources defined here; but not displayed in this excerpt)
There is one other possibility for not using drive letters in assignments; 
the catch is I can't recall which OS/Networking software purports to let you 
do this (I've played with a lot of them in the last year or so..)
You can supposedly use a network resource without attaching to a drive letter 
by using the UNC (universal naming convention) to specify the specific 
executable or file you want to work with. For instance, if you have the game 
TETRIS.EXE over in the games subdirectory/resource of network server 
FUNSERVER you can supposedly run it by typing at your OS prompt
\\FUNSERVER\games\tetris.exe. If a password is needed for you to access the 
resource, a password box would pop up before the program loaded.
Maybe someone else here will remember which software supposedly allows you to 
do this...........
The drawback of this method is that, since you aren't actually logging a 
drive letter to the resource, you can't PATH it, or make it your current 
directory.
