Oh absolutely, there's more than one way… <harumph… KC and Oz are sitting
here on the bed eyeing me strangely… no, I WASN'T going to say "to skin a
cat!" Sheesh.> The Amiga approach (CD-anywhere-you-want) is orthogonal
(there's that word again) and completely intuitive. The PC approach
(CD-to-directories-but-log-to-devices) is much less obvious. I have to admit
I said "Blech!" the first time I noodled out why CD A:\SCR kept returning C:
on a PC. All things considered I'm MUCH rather have it the Ami way. But
once you get used to the PC approach, there ARE quite a few circumstances for
which it is appropriate and helpful.

What's wrong with a separate notion of "current directory, sorta" for each
drive? 🙂 At least we don't have to intercept DOS calls to avoid "Abort,
retry, ignore…"
