- HOMERHOM v1.1b (HOMER.EXE / HOME.EXE)
- 12-22-90
-
- HOMERHOM is two programs, one of which saves your current location,
- and the other brings you back "home".
-
-
- 1. FORMAT/SYNTAX (for using programs in a batch file)
-
- a. Use HOMER in place of CHDIR (CD) any time you want to change
- directory (CD) and return to where you started.
- b. The syntax is: "homer \newdir" (without ""s, of course)
- "\newdir" is the directory to which you wish to change.
- Your current (start) directory will be saved in a tiny
- file $TEMP in the Root DIR.
- c. Run whatever program you wish in the "newdir".
- d. Insert the command HOME after the program command line(s)
- to bring you back to your original (start) directory.
-
- EXAMPLE:
-
- @ECHO OFF
- homer bbs\gfiles
- namelist
- home
-
- This little batch file will run NAMELIST.EXE (T.A.G. BBS utility), which
- must be run from its own directory (\BBS\GFILES) where it target file is
- found. Upon completion, you're returned to whatever directory you were.
-
- NOTE: HOMER and HOME will NOT work across Drives (next upgrade? <grin>).
- But, they will work anywhere on same drive so long as both are on
- your PATH somewhere. Nor will they work from DOS prompt <chuckle>.
-
-
- 2. DISCLAIMER
-
- Both HOMER.EXE and HOME.EXE have been tested extensively with no
- injurious results to hardware or neighboring software. But they
- are provided strictly "as is", and any damage resulting from their
- installation and/or use is strictly the responsibility of the user.
- The author makes no claims of guarantee or warranty of any kind.
