Is it possible to mount a device like CD:4  as localhost in Amosaic??
I have an IBM/ MAC cdrom with HTML links but I can't get Amosaic to
see it as localhost.   I can use "open local" to access the documents
but then any addtional links use "localhost" as part of the path and 
then Amosaic cannot find the "URL file://localhost/(filename)" .

        I usually get,    "file://localhost/(filename) not found"  or
some such thing ....     I have to put the device name in the path,

        file://localhost/cd4:(filename)

                or

        file://localhost/cd4:htmldocs/(filename)

in order to get Amosaic to find the file.


        I thought that it may be a problem with the AmiTCP but I'm
not sure???     Any Ideas??
