******************************
Have you ever wanted to set your path to a long string and couldn't?
If so, this program is for you!!
Yes, if you have the environment space, SETPATH will
allow you to have a path string as long as you like.
To use SETPATH from the DOS prompt or in a batch file type:
setpath <filename>
where <filename> is a file containing the string you want to use as your
path.
Note: ***** Please DO NOT INCLUDE PATH= in this file. Things will get very
confused if you do.
You can continue the string on more than one line -- all the lines are
concatenated together to form the string.
That's all there is to it!!
One further note, if you don't have enough environment space to do this,
you can use the very good program envsize.arc which can be found on many
bulletin boards. This program is from a company, which unfortunately,
seems no longer to exist.
If you are using DOS 3.2 or higher you can use the shell config.sys command as follows:
shell=<full path name of command.com> /e:<size in bytes> /p
where /e specifies the environment size and /p indicates a primary command
processor. The /p is necessary for this to work.
Revision History
Version 1.0 Original Release
Version 1.1: Fixed a bug whereby the word path= anywhere in the environment
would cause the program to incorrectly assume that this was the
beginning of the variable path= .
Version 1.2: Added a feature which may support DOS 3.3 users. If this doesn't
work in DOS 3.3, please call and maybe we can fix it, I don't have DOS 3.3
here.
Version 1.3: I think I finally have DOS 3.3 and 4.0 working successfully.
There is still a problem on dual floppy systems, but you probably don't
need the program if you have one of these.
Version 1.4: I broke support of older versions of DOS,
but I think it works now.
