It is a substitute command. Use the SUBST command to substitute a drive letter for a path in order to treat a virtual drive (a reserved area rather than an actual disk drive) as a physical drive. Example: To create a virtual drive F for the path, SALES\LETTERS (under the root directory) of drive C, enter subst f: c:\sales\letters Read and write requests to either drive F or to C:\SALES\LETTERS will be stored in the C:\SALES\LETTERS directory area.
I remember in the days of DOS making common use of the SUBST command to substitute a very long pathname for a shorter drive letter. For example: SUBST e: c:\Windows\Users\John\Documents\Spreadsheets\FY92-93\Payroll\Departments\Engineering\ Then you just go to e: instead of typing in the longer path. So, I would use SUBST as an abbreviation for substitution.
Would you please provide somewhat more detail about the situation involved and resubmit your question.
No. You can go to a DOS like prompt and use DOS like commands, however, current versions of Windows are no longer based on DOS.
It would have a LOW specific heat capacity because -- the subst heats up quickly which means you would use less heat capacity.
