Here is a puzzle that smarter folks than me may be able to solve. My os2 2.11 system is on c: with the standard configuration of the os2 dirs. I have a windows program, george, that can only run from c:\foo. I don't have enough room on c: and want to put george on d:. Is there any combination of use of subst or anything else to make it work. The problem is to start winos2 from its dir on c:\os2\mdos\winos2 and then to have george believe that that it is running from c:\foo which is really on d:\z\foo. I have not determined a way to allow winos2 to start normally and yet have george believe it resides on c:\foo. Obvious solutions like free up space on c: or reprogram george so that it can run from anywhere are not allowed. I would like to be able to start george seamlessly from the os2 desktop, however that is not essential. thanks Kermit R.
