Although I've never used it, there is a facility in recent versions of MSDOS (I know it's in 3.1) to allow you to assign a drive to a given directory name in your directory tree. This is similar to mounting a Unix file system to a directory. So you could do something like: assign C: /sources And anytime you referenced /sources/*, it would know to look for it on drive C. I'm not sure of the syntax, but I have read about the command and a friend of mine has used it. It works with ramdisks too! I'm not an MSDOS advocate (quite the opposite), but lets not complain that MSDOS partitions are a pain. If you mount them into a file system, you get something that is no harder to use than a single partition system. Now if only someone would write a shell that would make the Amiga look and feel like a Unix file system... It sure would make a lot of Unix people happy, and it would sell like crazy.
