PathAssign V1.0 by Anders Lindgren 88-11-21
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Have you ever wanted to assign several target deirectories for an
assignment, like vd0:libs AND df0:libs? Well here comes the soloution.
This program, PathAss, will do just that.
Current Satus
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The PathAss program is released as ShareWare and may be
distributed for non-profit only. The ShareWare fee is set to $10 and
shuld be payed by anyone who is using the program and think it is
good. The fee should also be payed by any organisation which
includes this program in their library. An exception to this rule is
when the organisation is run for nonprofit and it don`t take out any fee
what so ever when members are accessing (=copying from) their library.
(the fee can be payed is any currancy like swedish crowns, new PD
program, clean disks and so on. I will accept almost anything. :-)
All registed ShareWare members will recive the latest version of
this program as well as the sourcecode. I will try to fill up the
disk with PD/SW programs written by me or somebody else. The money will
support future development of ShareWare programs.
Insallation:
~~~~~~~~~~~~
To use the program you put the file `path-handler' in your L:
directory and the PathAss command in C:. For you non-CLI masters
enter the following lines:
- cd df0:pathass
- copy path-handler l:
- copy pathass c:
Note that line 1 may wary.
Usage:
~~~~~~
The syntax for this command is:
pathass [-{ldh}] [name] [dir1[,dir2[,dir3...]]]
Hey folks! don`t be afraid, it isn`t as complicated as it may
look, to make an assignment type:
pathass name dir1[,dir2[,dir3...]]
The order of the directories are significant. The program scans the
libraries from the beginning so put the references to ram based
devices first. Files that don`t exist in any directory will be
written to the first dir int the list.
To list all current assignments:
pathass -l
or pathass
To delete an assignment write:
pathass -d name:
or pathass name:
Note that this also deletes old assignments.
You can see a short help text by writing:
pathass -h
For example:
pathass devs: vd0:devs,df1:devs,df0:devs
pathass include: vd0:myinc,lattice4.0.2:compiler_headers
pathass fonts: vd0:fonts,df0:fonts,df1:fonts
pathass fonts:
pathass -l
Another feuture of this program is that it doesn`t consider
assignments volume-relative, as the AmigaDos assignment command does.
PathAss consider them device-relative. This means when an assignment
is made to df0: PathAss will look at the volume currently is df0:, while
Assign would check the volume that was inserted in df0: at the time of
the assignment.
One advantage of PathAss is that users with little ram ( less then
1.5 Mb ) normaly don`t have room for all the system files in their
ram-disk. With this program you can download the ones you use often and
when you want to use another, you just insert any disk containing these
files in any drive. Can it be simpler?
Programmers who are using Lattice C can assign include: to the
normal dir and to vd0:include and then load down often used header files
to the ram-disk, to speed things up.
I strongly suggest that you insert the path-assignments in your
startup-sequence file.
To pay the fee, ask any question, complaints, bug reports,
suggestions, ask for autograps etc. Please write to:
