MOVESYS
Have you ever gotten tired of going
assign sys: whatever:
assign c: sys:c
assign devs: sys:devs
assign s: sys:s
...
...
in order to avoid "Please insert ..." requesters? Well, here's something
that will help; a little program that reassigns SYS:, C:, S:, L:, LIBS:,
DEVS:, and FONTS: all in one step.
If you're a floppy oriented user, you can use it to painlessly transfer your
base of operations from one bootable disk to another; if you're a hard disk
user, you can use it to simplify and perhaps speed up your startup-sequence.
It does not change your current directory. Note that the "pure" bit is set;
you can make it resident if you want.
You just give the command MoveSys in CLI followed by the name of the
directory you want SYS: to be assigned to, like this:
1> movesys dh0:
or 1> movesys "workbench 1.3:"
The quotes in that second case are optional. The thing you assign SYS: to
need not be a root directory, as long as it has the subdirectories c, s, l,
libs, devs, and fonts. It returns 5 (WARN) if any of the names other than
SYS: couldn't be found, or 10 it it couldn't find the new SYS: or if it
fails more drastically, with a message explaining any failure.
