[net.micro.amiga] use of Ram:C

lbg@gitpyr.UUCP (Lee B Grey, Programmer Extraordinaire) (10/08/85)

There is sort of a kludgy way to use some of the CLI commands on the
RAM: disk.  You must, however, change your current directory to
RAM:.  Then, move the commands you want into your RAM: directory
but do not change the assignment of C (it should be SYS:C).  Now
when you use one of the commands, your Amiga will look first in
your current directory, before trying SYS:C.  If you had a meg
or more of RAM, this would be great, but with 512K, it gets cramped
when your RAM disk is holding your source, object files, AND the
compilers and linker.  Surely there must be a way to assign more than
one possible directory for searching for a command.  Right?!

How about assign C: SYS:C,C1.0:C?  If not a comma, what about a
space?  I haven't tried it yet, but I will.
