- Summary: Generalized file path searching implemented as a device
- Poster Boy: Rob Tillotson (akl@j.cc.purdue.edu)
- Archive Name: binaries/amiga/volume8/pathdev.b.Z
- Tested
-
- NOTES:
- This is a mountable device driver that allows you to have search
- paths for any directory, and those paths may include drive names as well as
- volume names, thus fixing one of the most irritating limitations of the
- AmigaDOS PATH command. The source code originally came from a sample RAM
- disk driver by Matt Dillon, and the documentation for it is also included.
- I got a few mysterious gurus when using this device, but they occurred
- when I was trying to test its limits; it does what it is supposed to, but
- it seems to have a few minor difficulties dealing with boundary conditions.
