Ah yes, the LASTDRIVE=32 hack (Novell, I think?).  That's pretty
theoretical since most applications couldn't use them anyway, but that
didn't stop MS from later copying it.  It sure doesn't work if you try
and shove these through a POSIX command line...

BTW, Wikipedia has a good writeup on that, much to my surprise:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drive_letter_assignment

Ob-org (enough off-topic for today): once we get the lettered lists, we
should have a LASTDRIVE configuration option to allow [\]^_` as
additional list members when lists get longer than 26 elements... ;-P
