I came to the OS/2 world from the Amiga and am really surprised that I
have to use primitive things like E: or F: to refer to volumes.  The
amiga had the ability to assign logical volumes to anything.  The great
virtue of this (and the problem with os/2) is that if you repartition a
disk then all the drive letters get screwed up and the config.sys refers
to places that might no longer exist.  Surely I have missed something
here - OS/2 is too advanced to limit you to these silly one letter drive
names...
Cheers
