Work like a network drive? Hmm not sure how you'd do that.
What you can do is write a DOS device driver (.sys) that
provides the file-is-volume translation stuff and an API
(using interrupts) to 'mount' files as drive letters.  This would
definitely fall outside the scope of this list though; you probably
can't do this with DJGPP, as it is a protected mode environment,
and device drivers (usually) run in real mode.

Of course, there are plenty of people on this list that are a
whole lot smarter than I am, so I may be proven wrong.
