I'd like to put in another plug for SCOUT. I've been using it on my
   Columbia PC for 2 years and it has far exceeded my expectations.

In addition to allowing my DOS 1.1 applications to run in
   subdirectories on my hard disk. It also allows me to increase the
   size of my path without using up all my DOS 2.11 environment space.

My path looks like c:\;i:;x:;y:;z:
where all "drives" above d are SCOUT pseudo-drives (i.e. are mapped to
   subdirectories of my hard disk).

I have yet to find a circumstance where SCOUT was not perfectly behaved
   including with SuperKey and SideKick loaded after it. Also, I have
   never found a program which defeated the SCOUT search mechanism or
   questioned the validity of it's pseudo-drives. (this includes
   Norton's Utilities, which reports that I have 26 drives).


They are also the only company I have ever dealt with who shipped me
   their product along with a bill. When I called them to ask they
   said, we'll send it out - if you like it, send us a check.
   Otherwise, just send it back.
