SUBJECT : Retaining Local Paths Addendum (ref. FYI # 050890ge)
DATE : 5/14/90
FYI # : 051590dc
OS VERSION : 286 and 386
GENERAL INFORMATION : Regarding the "Optional Comments section of the
previous FYI.
PROBLEM : Regarding the use of the MAP command and retaining
local paths the following statement was made:
"There is one exception to this process. If you are using DOS
4.X with 286 NetWare then using either MAP S16: or MAP INS S1:
will still overwrite your path. A possible work-around is to
use the 386 MAP utility on your 286 network."
No work around is needed to use DOS 4.X. The problem is with
how you issue your PATH command. Ensure that you are using
correct syntax when your Path command is issued and all will
work fine. One example of syntax that causes the MAP command
to fail when using DOS 4.X is:
SET PATH=[paths]
"SET" should be left out of the statement as follows:
PATH=[paths]
This syntax works properly in conjunction with the MAP
command.
SOLUTION : Use the MAP INS S1: and the MAP S16: as explained in
the previous FYI. It will work with DOS 4.X as well.
