[comp.sys.misc] TSR To swap drives A: & B:

55srwlgs@SACEMNET.AF.MIL ("55SRWLGS") (09/19/90)

	I have a 386 machine, with a 40 meg winchester and 
two floppy drives. Drive a: is a 720K 3 1/2", while 
drive b: is a 360K 5 1/4". We don't use drive a: much,
 since most of our floppies are 360K 5 1/4"-ers.
	I can use ASSIGN in our MS-DOS 4.01 to make the 
system think drive a: is b:, but this can't work with a 
lot of programs, including the FORMAT command. Is there
a TSR which will let me swap a: and b: for everything?
I'm too lazy to open up the CPU, and it's too new to tinker
with, just yet.

The following is a short TSR program for the PC. It's called
TAB.COM and simply interchanges drive A: and B:; so after
loading it all accesses to A: go to B: and vice-versa.
Sorry for only posting the binary, but a don't have any
documentation for it.
