Irrelevant.

a) Directory mounting in W2K and later isn't done with JOIN or SUBST.

b) There is no JOIN in NT. And DOS/Win9x doesn't do drive letter
less directory mounting anyway.

c) SUBST does nothing like directory mounting. ie it turns a directory
into a drive letter, rather than a filesystem into a directory.

Your grasp upon aduldhood must be pretty precarious if you need
to disparage an operating system with such a childish epithet
each time you post about it.
