.SH DESCRIPTION
.cu
subst
is designed to manipulate the CDS (
.cb
.ct C
.ct urrent
.cb
D
.ct irectory 
.cb
S
.ct tructure), so a path of one drive can be accessed
by a drive letter.

.cu
subst
is part of the 
.cu
swsubst
package. It can be created, if
it does not already exist, by copying the executable 
.cb
swsubst.exe
to
.cb
subst.exe
.ct .
.SH OPTIONS
.IP /? 
Displays a little help screen.
.IP /d
Causes 
.cu
subst
to break off the relation between the drive letter 
.cb
dr
and
the substituted path. If 
.cb
dr
is JOIN'ed and not SUBST'ed, the relation
is been broken off, too.
.IP "dr1: dr2:path"
Causes 
.cu
subst
to substitute the 
.cb
path
on drive 
.cb
dr2
with
the drive letter 
.cb
dr1
.ct . If 
.cb
dr1
is already SUBST'ed or JOIN'ed,
this relation will be broken off. 
.cb
path
need not neither exist nor
fully qualified. It will be created as well as the full path relative to
the current working directory on drive 
.cb
dr2
.ct .
.IP "without any parameter"
This dumps a list onto the screen containing all SUBST'ed drives in
the form: X: => Y:\PATH; where Y:\PATH is the fully-qualified path and
by X: substituted path. If there is no SUBST'ed drive, no output
occurs.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
swsubst, join.
.SH "KNOWN BUGS"
.IP o
Networked drives cannot be used.
.IP o
Sometimes substitutions onto a floppy drive won't work for unknown
reason.
