Hi everyone. I just responded to someone's question about paths in 
Imagine 3.x. I referred them to Worley's suggestions for ASSIGNs, along 
with some that I have added for my own use. 

I was thinking that this makes a transfer of projects IBM<->AMiga hard, 
if not impossible. 

I'd like for all of us to discuss another way to do this... My proposal 
will follow.

Currently, it is the accepted norm that Amiga Imagine users have the 
following assigns:
	IMAGINE:
	OBJECTS:
	PROJECTS:
	TEXTURES:
	EFFECTS:
	ATTRIBUTES:
	MAPS:
(these are a combination of Worley's suggestions and my expansion).

It seems that the common directories necessary between IBM & Amiga would 
be the PROJECTS, OBJECTS, MAPS, EFFECTS, and TEXTURES. Bearing in mind 
IBM's limitations, I'd like to propose this:

	PROJECTS:	becomes	P: for Amiga & IBM
	OBJECTS:	becomes O: for Amiga & IBM
	MAPS:		becomes M: for Amiga & IBM
	EFFECTS:	becomes X: for Amiga & IBM
	TEXTURES:	becomes T: for Amiga & IBM
This way, Amiga users can simply ASSIGN the letters above, and IBM users 
just define LASTDRIVE in config.sys to X, and use the letters as devices. 
This will work on the IBM, won't it?

Let's talk about it!
