Well, this is great news. I certainly need your help on this one.
There is one main thing that needs looking at: what's the best way of
working out if SUBST can be used on a person's system to create certain
virtual drives. Let's say we need two drives (one for OpenGEM and one
for swap). Ideally we want to use O: and P:.
We want to check to see if O: and P: are free to be used.
If O: and P: are already there, we need to use different drives. If O:
and P: are there, we proceed with them.
We want to create O: and P: using SUBST.
We want to start OpenGEM.
That's the rough idea. The question of HOW this should actually work is
still very much under debate. Any ideas?
