I am constantly fighting multiple letter drives, in order to locate this or that file which I wish to share with someone on the Internet. I do a lot of file transmissions; I am kinda' like a human "server," if you will. If everything I do (1 gigabyte and growing) were organized under a single letter drive, and furthermore, under a single DOS directory, e.g. C:\FREEDOMS, then my "name space" would be much less complicated, and I would be able to concentrate more on the task at hand, i.e. the communicative and political tasks, as you call them. C:\FREEDOMS is my goal for a single directory on a single letter drive, growing to 9 gigabytes uncompressed. /s/ Paul Mitchell >-Most- win95 users are unaware that there system ever switches between 16 >and 32 bit mode and that's as it should be.
