[comp.windows.ms.programmer] DOS APPEND command and Win 3.0

Forum2News_Exporter@mts.rpi.edu (Barry Bailey) (11/02/90)

 
   I am using a compiler/linker package which requires all object
   modules to be located in the same subdirectory, unless an appropriate
   APPEND command has been issued. If done, the linker finds the object
   modules accordingly and saves the executable modules in the current
   directory (unless otherwise noted in the parameter list).
 
   Needless to say I would like to use the APPEND command, given
   hundreds of object modules scattered (logically) amongst five
   directories.
 
   However, APPEND does not work from WIN 3.0 ("Incorrect DOS version"
   is the error message). Is there another way to achieve the same
   results as the DOS APPEND command? I speculated about using another
   DOS command that effectively makes the linker see one directory when
   actually there are several. I also speculated that there might be Win
   3.0 specific solutions (i.e. a replacement for APPEND, you would
   think MS wouldn't simply eliminate a useful utility :->
