BRAVO!!!

Everytime I get talking with someone about the strengths and weaknesses of
Netware, someone always says something like "boy, being stuck with less than
26 drive letters is a real pain.  It sure would be nice to map a subdirectory
instead of just a drive letter!  Links [unix-style] would be nice, but 
mapping a subdirectory would a-mount (heh heh) to a quantum leap in useability."

Is anyone from Novell listening?
