       _s_u_b_s_t is designed to manipulate the CDS (CCurrent DDirectory
       SStructure), so a path of one drive can be  accessed  by  a
       drive letter.

       _s_u_b_s_t  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 ssuubbsstt..eexxee.

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

       //dd     Causes  _s_u_b_s_t to break off the relation between the
              drive letter ddrr and the substituted path. If ddrr  is
              JOIN'ed and not SUBST'ed, the relation is been bro-
              ken off, too.

       ddrr11:: ddrr22::ppaatthh
              Causes _s_u_b_s_t to substitute the ppaatthh  on  drive  ddrr22
              with  the  drive  letter  ddrr11.  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 quali-
              fied. It will be created as well as the  full  path
              relative  to the current working directory on drive
              ddrr22.

              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:  sub-
              stituted  path.  If  there is no SUBST'ed drive, no
              output occurs.

              work for unknown reason.
