- ahh and i forgot.. the battlechess problem..
-
- boot like normal.. look what the disk is called (of battleches)
-
- take it out again...
-
- create a file in the battlechess dir called
- (whateveryocallit) foo (just an example!)
-
- do a
-
- assign <nameoffirstdisk>: path:to/where/your/battlechess/resides
- assign <nameof2nddisk>: path:to/where/your/battlechess resides
- name_of_main_program
-
-
-
-
- okay.. then d(while being in the same dir)
-
- protect srewd <the.name.you.gave.that.file> foo (in this example)
-
- now each time you cd to that dir you could just do a
-
- execute foo
-
-
- or if you want to be clever.. put that file in s:
-
-
- and add something like an
-
- cd path:to/where/the/bla/bla/dir/is
-
- at the first line :-)
