From: Mike Ciaraldi <ciaraldi@Rochester.ARPA> The last Digest had a message asking about how to make the option character in DOS 2.0 be a "-" instead of a "/", and make the path-name separator a "/" instead of a "\", to match Unix conventions. I have been using ZDOS 2.0 on a Zenith Z-100 (pre-release), and there is an easy way to do this. It turns out this works fine on PC-DOS 2.0 also, although it does not seem to be documented anywhere. In your CONFIG.SYS file, include the line: switchar=- This changes the switch character to a minus sign. You can make it anything you want. As long as you make it anything but a slash, the path-name separator will automatically change from reverse-slash to forward-slash. Mike Ciaraldi ciaraldi@rochester
