Tim,
I don't know about the plans with the StdLib, but I do remember a long time ago
with the old shell there was a protocol that let you translate volume names
(mappings) into handles and device paths.
So you could write a simple library that has 2 styles of APIs:
1) Handle + FilePath in Shell mapping with Volume Name out
2) Shell file path with mapping Volume names in and Simple File System handle
Out with the file path
a) A device path out version of this is also useful
You can make the lib just error return if the Shell protocol does not exist so
you don't make it a requirement. The caller handles that failure as the current
working volume/directory case.
Thanks,
Andrew Fish
