yes, that is the one... i actually went and got a hexeditor that didn't
reguire binary access to the drive level and worked it out... pretty darned
simple... now if i could just find the "change" program that was
used ;) i think that someone could easily come up with a tool that would do
this pretty easily, too...

i've just not had time and, in fact, i screwed something up the other day
and now i can't gain netbios access to the os/2 box across the lan...
that's put me in a huge reconfiguration mode trying to locate all
references to "Z:" and replace them with the proper local drive
letter on the OS/2 box... frustrating doesn't even begin to cover it...
