       _j_o_i_n  is designed to manipulate the CDS (CCurrent DDirectory
       SStructure), so a drive can be accessed by a  directory  of
       another drive.

       _j_o_i_n is part of the _s_w_s_u_b_s_t package. It can be created, if
       it does not  already  exist,  by  copying  the  executable
       sswwssuubbsstt..eexxee to jjooiinn..eexxee.

       //??     Displays a little help screen.

       //dd     Causes  _j_o_i_n  to break off the relation between the
              directory and  the  JOIN'ed  drive  ddrr.  If  ddrr  is
              SUBST'ed and not JOIN'ed, the relation is been bro-
              ken off, too.

       ddrr11:: ddrr22::ppaatthh
              Causes _j_o_i_n to join drive ddrr11 into  ppaatthh  on  drive
              ddrr22.   If  ddrr11 is already SUBST'ed or JOIN'ed, this
              relation will be broken off. ppaatthh need not  neither
              exist  nor  fully  qualified. It will be created as
              well as the full path relative to the current work-
              ing directory on drive ddrr22.

              This  dumps  a  list onto the screen containing all
              JOIN'ed drives in the form:  X:  =>  Y:PATH;  where
              Y:PATH  is  the fully-qualified path and X: JOIN'ed
              in drive. If there is no JOIN'ed drive,  no  output
              occurs.
