Notice that Mountvol and linkd operations must be done on NTFS volumes. Dunno for the last 2 others

a last thing to mountvol : no params will returns the volumes ID and the assigned letter(s) (only for information, as the linking won't use the drive letter)

Anyway, thanks for pointing these utilities, didn't know some and don't remember of other (well, maybe not for net use )

duh, i really need to buy a grammar book
