AssignWedge    1.4    An AssignX type clone

On the Amiga, many programs require a particular logical device name or
assignment to point to a drawer or volume to find their data. If you forget
to place such an assignment in your User-Startup file or take care of it by
hand you will sooner or later see the familiar "Please insert volume ... in
any drive" requester popping up. AssignWedge `wedges' into the operating
system routine responsible for bringing up this requester, giving you the
choice to take one of the following actions using the mouse:

   · Retry

     If you have taken care of the assignment or device yourself,
     this will cause the action that brought up the requester
     to be repeated.

   · Assign

     This will create an assignment under the name displayed in
     the requester. You just have to pick the drawer to tie it to.

   · Mount

     Assuming that the device displayed in the requester can be
     mounted, this will execute the AmigaDOS `Mount' command
     and then repeat the action that brought up the requester.

   · Deny

     This effectively denies the program that brought up this
     requester to refer to the device in question. Whenever
     it refers to it, no requester will appear asking you to
     insert the volume in question. Instead, the program to
     ask for the volume will see any attempt to access the
     volume failing.

   · Cancel

     Denies the program request to access the volume. It's
     as simple as that.
