[comp.lang.forth] F83 on IBM pc's

PHYGARY@STMARYTX.BITNET (04/28/91)

I have found the following .bat file fakes an MS-Dos system into
thinking F83 is on disk drive A: when it is really on disk drive C:,
so you don't have to recompile the whole program. I keep all the
files in the same subdirectory (c:\FORTH) and have no problems,
unless you need to use drive A:.

FORTH.BAT

SUBST A: C:\FORTH
F83 %1
SUBST A: /D

Typing

C>FORTH sample.blk

Will run forth with the file block sample initially set. You can access
others. When you exit it return the system so that A: can be used
normally.
