Shouldn't that have been "C:MORE" and not ":C/MORE"? I always use the
former, because that way it will always get MORE off the correct disk even
if the icon you are clicking upon is on a different disk. Otherwise I need
to have copies of MORE scattered about. (In fact, that's one minor
annoyance about certain uploads… Icons should always refer either to a
specific disk name [ie. "FRED:RUNME"] or a common defined system name [ie.
"C:MORE"], or should avoid the volume entirely and reference something
solely from the current directory. [ie. "fred/runme"]
One should avoid references based on the root directory of the current
disk [ie. ":fred/runme"] because there is NO guarentee that the user will
decide to unarchive the files at the root or in a specific subdirectory. I
know *I* never do…)
