Very interesting... I have always wondered what it would take to make the
virtual directory table on DJGPP ("i.e. /dev/env/DJDIR, /dev/d, /dev/c,
/dev/com1, etc...) extensible. Perhaps a mock 'mount' and 'umount'
executable could add additional devices and physical directories (even
commands) to the DJGPP.ENV....

Just an idea...
