Apparently ->SUBST lets you assign a drive letter to an arbitrary directory, ->which means I could "alias" C:\FOO\BAR\BAZ\QUUX to Q:. ->Specifying Q: to the compiler would be a lot shorter than the ->pathname. Apparently JOIN is similar to UNIX mount. But when I recently helped a friend install Windows, we had to remove all the 'subst' lines (according to the Windows install program). What can be done in that case? And yes, admittedly, that was the first time I'd installed Windows, so I might have been erring on the side of conservatism, when it really _was_ OK to do it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two wrongs don't make a right, but three lefts do..
