Hello everybody.   
      
   Well, I am back online after the telco took 16 days to replace fix the cable a    
   few hundred meters from my wall socket to almost at the exchange, which leads    
   me to ask,   
      
   about fidonet on a USB memory stick, and the problem of changing drive    
   letters.   
      
   That is if I plug a USB memory stick into my computer it becomes drive F:, but    
   plugging the same memory stick into the computer at work, it becomes drive H:.   
      
   Any suggestions on how to make Squish, msged, binkleyterm, binkd, etc operate    
   in such a fashion that it matters not what the drive name is, the paths are    
   sane and make sense to the programs.   
      
   I operate mostly on Linux, and Fido is stricly Linux here, but the computer at    
   work is WINXP, and has an internet connection.   
      
   Things I have considered are;   
      
   Setting the drive in a batch file i.e.   
      
   Set drive "equals" F   
   and then writing paths as follows   
      
   $drive\squish\msgbase   
      
   or ..\squish\msgbase   
      
   otherwise writing seperate config files for each program, i.e.   
      
   squish.cfg.f   
   squish.cfg.h   
      
   and then run a batch file that will copy one or the other to squish.cfg    
   depending on what drive letter is allocated to the USB drive?   
      
   Am I making sense?   
      
   Excuse the "equals" above, but my keyboard seems to have lost a few random    
   key's :-((
