Sat 18-Nov-89: There are several nice memory resident push/pop directory utilities around. As you know pushdir stores the name of the directory where you are. You can then change the directory (and the drive) as much as you like, and popdir takes you right back to the original directory. But memory resident programs tend to pile up, and I started thinking whether push/pop can be achieved using non-resident batch methods. PUSHDIRE.BAT and POPDIRE.BAT together with SETPUSHD.EXE do this by juggling the environment variables. I pushed these files in my batch file collection and updated it to be tsbat12.arc. You can pop them from there. Available by anonymous ftp as usual. ...................................................................
