[comp.os.msdos.programmer] Converse of "subst" ?

ti@altos86.Altos.COM (Ti Kan) (10/02/90)

I have a large hard disk (190MB) which is now partitioned into
logical drives c: through h: with MS-DOS 3.30.  I would like
to be able to access the drives d: through h: while on c:
via directory paths.  For example, "cd c:\d" brings me to d:\,
and "type c:\d\file" will actually display d:\file.
This is exactly the converse of what the DOS "subst" command
allows.  Is there any commercial/public domain software that
allows me to do this?  If not, any suggestions on how I can
write a program to do this?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I believe it is called "JOIN". Also an MS-DOS utility. Haven't
use it in the last 3 years. Heard that some program might not
like it.
