I am looking for a program that will allow me to have a path greater than the 128bytes that DOS currently allows me. I have seen one called APPATH, but it does not work! If you know of where I could get one, or could uucode one for me, could you please drop me a line...? Thanks. ./*- -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ storm@cs.mcgill.ca McGill University It's 11pm, do YOU Marc Wandschneider Montreal, CANADA know what time it is? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have seen one called APPATH, but >it does not work! There are two things you might try that are fairly easy. First, get a copy of 4DOS. It extends (at least most of the time) the input buffer for DOS so you can have lonther PATHs. If that doesn't/can't/won't work, try using the SUBST command from DOS to make short drive names for your long directory names. That is, C:\>SUBST D: C:\very\long\path\name Then you can include D:\ in your PATH statement instead of the long path and save space. However, there is a speed/memory differential. How much I've never been able to say. -larry
