Assigns


Assigns are like "virtual" disk drives.  For example, you could create a
virtual drive called "PICS:" to contain all of your pictures.  You can then
tell the computer where on your disk your pictures are (they can be in as
many places as you like) so that when you want to use a picture in, for
example, your Desktop Publisher, you can tell the computer to go to the disk
drive called "PICS:", and you then get a list of all of your pictures.

Assigns are also particularly useful for re-routing programs from one place
to another, and for making software which is not supplied with a hard disk
install to work from hard disk.
