Log-a-drive
Version 1.0
by Nathan Becker
Log-a-drive fixes the annoying Abort, Retry, Fail? message that occurs
when you try to log on a drive with no disk in it. Usually when you get this
message you get stuck in an endless loop of Abort, Retry, Fail? messages until
you stick a disk in the drive that you accidentaly logged onto. If you use
Log-a-drive, you won't get stuck in an endless loop of Abort, Retry, Fail?
messages. In fact, you will probably never see that message again.
To use Log-a-drive simply run LOG.EXE with the name of the drive
letter. Also the /? gives help. Below are some examples.
LOG A: Log onto drive A
LOG A Log onto drive A (the program doesn't need the colon)
LOG /? Get help
If you want to avoid typing so much, you can rename LOG.EXE the
name of the drive you want to log on to. For instance, if you rename LOG.EXE
to A.EXE, Log-a-drive will automatically know to log onto drive A without
needing the command line parameter. So you would just type A to log onto drive A.
I would suggest making several copies of LOG.EXE and renaming them for each
of your drives. For instance, if you have drives A, B, C, and D then make
four copies of LOG.EXE and rename them the A.EXE, B.EXE C.EXE, and D.EXE.
Then to log onto a drive just type the name of the drive. Remember, don't
use a colon in this case because DOS will log on the old way with the
infamous Abort, Retry, Fail? message. Examples are below.
A Log on drive A (if you rename LOG.EXE to A.EXE)
A: Don't use this, DOS will think it a command not
a call to Log-a-drive
I hope that this program is useful to you. It has been tested and
seems to do what it is intended to do, but I cannot be responsible for any
damages that it causes to anything. Please feel free to copy it and give
it to everybody, but make sure that you include all the files listed below.
