In the future, is the imgmount command going to support multiple floppy images the same way it now supports multiple CD-ROM images? I'm referring to how you can type "imgmount d -t iso c:\oneiso.iso c:\twoiso.iso" and toggle between them with CTRL-F4.

Say you have a program distributed on multiple floppy images, and the install program (running in DOSBox) asks you to switch disks halfway through the installation. How exactly could you do this without exiting the install program?

It's not like this is an uncommon scenario. (How many DOS programs ran off multiple CDs, anyway?) It seems like you might be able to get around it with one of those CVS builds that lets you mount an image from the GUI instead of the command prompt, but the official version isn't going to have a GUI like that, is it?
