To tell the truth I don't know why it sayeth so. I've
currently got no idea why I wrote that or what I meant (or,
in fact, whether I wrote it ;-)

No, it'll read all of them.

GNUmed will scan all drive letters for \MDW2\PATIENTS.IN in

make much of a difference anyway unless one of the drives is
a samba mount via dialup networking from across the Pacific.
