Mmm... I've been using SUBST-ed drives across the network here since June/July, 
for the few squish areas that I use.  No probs so far, although this node 
doesn't see a lot of traffic.

I did some further testing with the idea this arvo, creating a pseudo area on 
the 'host' drive (i.e. using the real path) and creating a downlink.  But a 
rescan of the area to the new downlink failed, possibly for the same reason 
that Tommi Koivula had trouble with GEcho. <shrug>

Since I couldn't leave the setup to run with that config on the network, I had 
to delete everything, but, you might care to take some time with it.  Maybe 
just before you're about to write that cheque for a shareware gating util. 
<smirk>

Cheers,
Paul.
