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
