How to find out if a drive-letter is 'subst' drive and if yes, what is
the connected dir?

When using the DOS-command subst, I can assign a drive-letter to any
directory, e.g.

  subst z: c:\windows
  subst y: z:\system32

How can I find out, if z: is a real drive-name and how to get the
connected dir "c:\windows" from the drive-name "Z". 

I would prefer a function, which can be used in a real
DOS-application, if there is any...

Thanks a lot,

Michael
