[comp.sys.amiga.tech] SetCPU collides with CLI path???

dlleigh@mit-amt.MEDIA.MIT.EDU (Darren Leigh) (01/23/90)

I have found a problem between SetCPU and the CLI path function.  I
run setcpu and and set up a new path in my startup-sequence.  When I
use the fastrom option, the CLI path is deleted (actually set to C:)
or not accepted.  I have tried various combinations of putting one
before the other and in other startup files without result.  Path
seems to work fine in a CLI when I do it manually, but I can't get it
to coexist with fastrom in the startup-sequence.

I use SKsh so the loss of the CLI path doesn't hurt me much.  The
problem is with things like the Lattice "lc" command which looks for
the files "lc1" and "lc2" apparently using the CLI path.  In other
words, I can't get "lc" to work while I have fastrom installed.
Anybody have any ideas?

My system:  A2500, 1.3, SetCPU 1.50, Arp 1.3

Try "SetCPU FASTROM NOPATCH".  For some reason, the PATH command relies on
the Workbench string somewhere staying "Workbench" and not "Fastbench".  I
haven't run into this problem myself, but others have definitely reported
it previously.
