From: Eric Stork <STORK@mit-mc> Subject: dBASE2 question Can someone tell me how to set up DBASE2.COM so that it can be permanently on Disk C:, and will find its overlay files on C: even if it is invoked from A: or B:? In WordStar there is a location to set for where to look for overlay files. Logically, there should be such a location in dBASE, too. Advice will be appreciated. Eric.

From: Rick Conn <rconn@brl> Eric, I've had a similar need, but never found a solution. Instead, I got around it under ZCPR2 by creating a script command like the following: A:;dbase setup;B: In this way, I have all my work on B: and dbase.com and its overlays on A:. The command processor goes to A:, runs dbase, and the setup.prg file sets default to B:, so any files I reference come from B:. When done, the trailing B: puts me back into B:. Rick

If you set up ZCPR on your system you will be able to do this very easyly. Hugo.
