   I don't know which IT you're talking about but I HAVE used Assign a
number of times to fake a system into thinking that it was reading from
drive A: when it was actually reading from some other drive like a floppy
drive F: or some other odd configuration. I've also used it to fool the
system into installing stuff into a different drive and/or directory
instead of where it wanted to install it.

   Setver is the program that I couldn't remember the name of. You should
be able to use it to allow you to run an old version of Assign under a
newer DOS.
