I am looking for a utility program called
" fp " or so. It creates " shared" directories
for data files, quite similar to " path" for
executable files. I am running DOS 2.11 on
a ATT PC 6300. Can anyone help me finding the
utility? Thanks

Somebody brought in a copy of "fp" which caused all sorts of mysterious problems on his machine until I exterminated it and gave him file facility instead. Order by calling 800-IBM-PCSW, it's part number 6276530. John Levine, ima!johnl

It's great. There is another called DPATH. I obtained both from a BBS in California. The # is (213) 459 6480. Pierre Darmon University of Rochester {allegra|decvax|seismo}!rochester!ur-tut!pier
