 DESCRIPTION-

        This is a suggestion for all versions of OS/2, the base system.
        Add a Unix-like method of mounting file systems independently of
        drive letters.  This would provide a competitive advantage over
        NT and parity with Unix.  The advantage would be that
        repartitioning the disk or even moving OS/2 to another partition
        would no longer mean tedious adjustment of drive-letter
        references.  Also, users with machines set up differently would
        be able to move easily from one to another.  This will be very
        helpful to developers, end-users and those  who support large
        OS/2 installations.
