Notes and Suggestions:
• The virtual drive: must be in the range A: to LASTDRIVE:.
If the LASTDRIVE command is not in your CONFIG.SYS file,
SUBST defaults to
E: as the virtual drive: name. (Refer to
Appendix B
for more information on LASTDRIVE.)
• The
virtual drive: cannot be the same as the current drive.
• The
virtual drive: cannot be the same as a drive reference
included
in pathname.
• SUBST creates or deletes a virtual drive by associating a
pathname with a drive letter.
• When MS-DOS sees a drive
that was created with SUBST, it
replaces the reference with the new pathname.
Examples:
subst d: b:\usr\fred\forms
r-
! creates virtual drive D for the pathname B:\USER\FRED\
forms. Now, instead of typing the full pathname, type D: to go to
I' this directory.
