SUMMARY Smalltalk/V Win32s v2.0 Stacker 4.0 Fix

This VWin32s File-In fixes a Stacker 4.0 related Digitalk bug in which
a drive letter is not validated however the full path name is. The fix
is to stop using the Directory>>validDrive method (seldom used anyway)
in favor of the File class>>exists: method for determining if a drive
letter is valid or not. (Hint: Validate a full pathName rather than a
drive letter.)
