You don't know gpz yet? Something he does not need/want is something
noone would ever need. NEVER.

The point here is: The drive number is something that does not have to
be handled specifically if you just keep the "0:" or "1:" syntax. Thus,
there is absolutely no need to disallow that one, regardless of if you
want the approach of an "absolute path" or not - i.e., "/8/0:abc" would
be fine. Even better, this would even allow to use existing functions
without having to copy the string or handing the bytes one after the
other to the system functions (Remember: string manipulations cannot be
done, as you cannot be sure that the string does not reside in ROM).

Regards,
Spiro.
