Valid point but what do you mean about moving a program in OS/2 and breaking links? I don't move many programs now 
since my system is fairly settled, but if I do re-arrange things and move a folder to another drive, my shadows in 
WarpCenter and/or Launchpad are automatically updated.

What situation are you describing where drive letters are hard-coded? I am not denying, I am simply puzzled by your 
cryptic description.
