Me too, but at least with Windows 98 and myself as an user, it didn't work.
 When I wanted the VM to access "\\magus\d\dev\...image" the VM replied
that "\recycled\magus\d\dev\...image" couldn't be found.

On the Smalltalk-Level one would have to extend the DosDirectory class (I
think it is called) and probably a few other platform dependent classes to
understand "\\magic\d\" instead of "E:\" as an absolute path, actually a
drive name.
