║ Introduction ║
╚══════════════╝
Time and Time again I have had to reboot after changing my DOS
Path. Well I got Tired of it, so I came up with a PATH Editor
EDITPATH is a one line word processor that will allow you to
edit the existing PATH environment without having to reboot. This
is just the first BETA version so it only handles PATH's that are
80 Characters or less. EDITPATH supports your arrow keys as well
as backspace and delete keys, thus giving you enough flexibility
to edit your path properly.
Just simply type EDITPATH or whatever you rename it to, and your
present path will appear between two double lines as shown below.
════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
D:\UTL;D:\RBASE;C:\DOS;D:\MASM;D:\MSC;
════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Hit ENTER after you have finished Editing your Path, you will be
prompted as to whether or not you want to save the new path. Hitting
<y> will change the path, hitting anything else will leave the path
unchanged. You will get an error if your path is NULL or if its longer
than 80 Characters.
If you decide you want to edit the existing PATH then type the new
directory you wish to add or remove one you don't need.
Its as simple as that....................
I have received some input on the editor, comments include the INSERT
key toggle should work. I agree, however I'm still working on that
The edit portion in is ASSEMBLY language and it takes me a little longer
with assembly than it does "C" Version 3.0 will support the HOME, END and
INSERT keys.

This Program was written in:
Microsoft "C" 5.1
Microsoft Assembler 5.0
I would like to thank the following individuals:
DAVID DUBOIS - For Writing the Environment Manipulations routines
Originally in Pascal SETPATH.PAS from BPROGA
CLAY DAVIS - For Modifying the Tables
WAYNE JAMES - For hunting the above Source Code down for me.
DOUG MACLEAN - RIME "C" Conference Host for listening to me bitch
about DOS limitations and offering examples on how
to take on this project. Also for letting me bounce
ideas off him. If you aren't participating in the
RIME (RelayNet International Message Exchange) "C"
conference and your a "C" programmer then your missing
something special.
And anyone I forgot to mention...
