NAME
    AssignLate -- Creates an assignment to a specified path later (V36)

SYNOPSIS
    success = AssignLate(name,path)
    D0                    D1   D2

    BOOL AssignLate(STRPTR,STRPTR)

FUNCTION
    Sets up a assignment that is expanded upon the FIRST reference to the
    name.  The path (a string) would be attached to the node.  When
    the name is referenced (Open("FOO:xyzzy"...), the string will be used
    to determine where to set the assign to, and if the directory can be
    locked, the assign will act from that point on as if it had been
    created by AssignLock().

    A major advantage is assigning things to unmounted volumes, which
    will be requested upon access (useful in startup sequences).

INPUTS
    name - Name of device to be assigned (without trailing ':')
    path - Name of late assignment to be resolved on the first reference.

RESULT
    success - Success/failure indicator of the operation

SEE ALSO
    Lock(), AssignAdd(), AssignPath(), AssignLock(),
