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.
