[comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d] Yet another 4DOS quirk

greg@phoenix (greg Nowak) (02/15/90)

I'm having a problem with 4DOS 2.0 -- it doesn't recognize the b:
drive.
When I type b:  , it reponds with a stream of "No path" errors.
The "path" command also has several interesting responses : 
sometimes it will merely hang the machine, sometimes it spews out
gibberish (it looks like the same sector over and over again.) I use
the format "set path = ..." in my autoexec.bat, because using path as
a command caused the above errors. while this allows me to use files
in a:\bin, the command "path" without arguments claims there is "no
path". Is this the result of some conflict between path, the command,
and PATH, the environment variable? Is there any way I can fix it?

thanks,
