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.
3. LEGALESE
The author hereby donates HOMER.EXE & HOME.EXE to the public domain.
Any problems, questions, suggestions may be deposited in the nearest
file-13. Any compliments, thank-yous, or monetary gratuities may be
forwarded to:
