[9fans] drawterm: adding additional ntfs partitions (e.g. 'D:/')

[Skip Tavakkolian]

I've been studying drawterm sources. I can't see an easy way to
export more (ntfs) partitions, other than changing the base to
a different one and recompiling.  Correct?

You can use the -r option to set the base path.

drawterm -r d:/

for example.  You're right that you can't have
access to more than one at a time.

A different way to skin this particular cat is to mount the additional
NTFS partitions under the C:\ and then access them that way.  I'm not
sure about NT4, but Win2k and XP are able to mount FAT and NTFS
partitions as folders.

Under Windows, make an empty directory (eg C:\Drive-D)

On the Windows box, start the "disk administrator" app.
(Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> Disk Management)

Right click on the NTFS partition of interest and select "Change Drive
letter and paths", then enter C:\Drive-D, and "ok" your way out of a
myriad of dialogs

Run drawterm, the access it via /mnt/term/drive-d

Works for me with WinXP and drawterm

Thanks.  I should have rtfm; It's senility setting in.
