I have *both* Filepath and SCOUT, and I use SCOUT.  What both these
prgrams do is set up a search path for files, so when a program
tries to open a file, it will find it if it's anywhere along this
path - very convenient for overlays, include files, help files, etc.

SCOUT lets you assign a drive letter to a directory (like the DOS 3.1
utility does?), mark them read only, change it on the fly, etc.  It's
a good, cheap program that has worked well for me for around 2 years.
A year and a half ago it went for $24.95, and they sold me additional
licenses for $7.50 each, which I felt was too cheap so I paid them
$15 each instead.

Anyway, they are nice people to deal with, and they are:
    Computer Insights
    PO Box 110097
    Pittsburgh PA
    15232
(or at least they were a year ago).

No connection except as a very satisfied customer.
