I currently copy my whole C directory to RAM: disk upon startup. . I would instead like to make the whole C dir RESIDENT , with one command (I don't want to have to RES every single program in the C dir one at a time.) Is there any way I can do this with REZ, RESIDENT, or ARES ??? (ps thanks to the developers of ARP. it is a real boon to us who only have floppy systems.... BTW, when will ARP 1.4 be out? |============================================================================| | (patient) Go ahead doc, tell me the worst. | | (doctor) I'm sorry, but you have MS-DOS... | | (patient) MS-DOS?? ...Maybe I caught it from a toilet seat or something.| | | | DENNIS GORRIE (LAUL AT UREGINA1.BITNET) | |============================================================================|

The command in S:, named SPAT, is what you could use to make a command that does not accept a wildcard do wildcard things. SPAT is an execute script with the script-protection-bit set. If S: is in your PATH, then this command should do what you have requested. Make sure that everything in C: is RESIDENT-able in the first place, or perhaps separate your C directory into a C and a C2 (lets say, for the nonresidentable stuff). If the LIST command output shows the "p" bit set (the command is PURE), it is highly likely that it is residentable. SPAT RESIDENT C:#? "Use the SPAT script, and apply the RESIDENT command on everything that matches the AmigaDOS wild card pattern C:#?" Rob Peck
