Well, I've found good reason to make extensive use of Netware's "map
root =" command. Mostly for software that maintains a copy
of the directory "tree" for drives. There's a limit to how much *any*
of them will cache and my main netware volume exceeds what most
allocate. So I just map some of the directories to be treated as root
directories of new drives. I get to keep from choking the "directory
tree" cache on the programs, but not have to split up my volume into
smaller drives.
