- Does this also work with lists of directories?
-
- $ define dcl$path sys$login,d1:[tools.exe],[]
-
- This is a missing feature of VMS since version 1.0 :-)
-
-
- BTW, for those without V6.2, I have written long time ago a
- path-execution-emulation program called X.COM
-
- From the help:
-
- X means eXecute: execute a program, which can be found in a directory-
- searchlist, as defined by the global DCL-symbol PATH.
-
- The program can be a VMS-image (type *.EXE) or a DCL-commandfile (type
- *.COM).
- Wildcards * and % are allowed as well as optionally passed parameters.
-
- Examples: $ X LOGIN ! does a @SYS$LOGIN:LOGIN.COM
- $ X UUF* BLUB.BLAH BLUB.UUE ! starts the image UUFIX.EXE and
- ! passes 2 parameters
-
- You can extend the search-path with: PATH==PATH+",<DIRECTORY>"
- Logicals are ok, too. eg: PATH==PATH+",DD1:[FRAMSTAG.TOOLS],SYS$SCRATCH"
-
-
- If you are interested in this program, send me a mail.
