   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
