I have no idea where "is equal to" crept in myself, so I'll keep out of the
semantics. Doing deltree G: and deltree C: (you get the idea) both result in
an empty drive!
My point was that they ARE actually equal (the same device) if G: is mapped
(what a horrid concept to begin with) to C:, or vice versa. It's important
to know this lest one be tempted to free up all those extra copies of stuff
on G: (true horrors heard in the network admin classroom).
(NOTE: I have NO IDEA if deltree will zap a drive like this or not. I do not
intend to find out!)
I think we've gone insane now.
