FORMENU is usually able to detect what kind of drives a PC has automatically,
but occasionally this is not possible (especially on older PC's). To enable
FORMENU to work with these PC's, you simply have to tell FORMENU what kind of
drives they have via the FORMENU configuration program, FMCONFIG.EXE. You may
want to see if FORMENU is reading your drives okay before continuing.
If FORMENU is NOT detecting your drive types and your PC has a drive C, just
type "FMCONFIG" to configure FORMENU for your PC. If your PC does NOT have a
drive C, please continue reading.
THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS FOR PEOPLE THAT DO NOT HAVE A DRIVE C ON THEIR PC:
*******************************************************************************
To keep things consistent and simple, the configuration program creates a file
FORMENU.CFG in the root of drive C. This is, however, an obstacle for those
few that do not have a C drive. There is a simple solution for this:
Use the DOS substitute command to substitute another drive for drive C. This
will temporarily make your system think there is a drive C on your system. To
do this type in the following, replacing "A:\" with the drive you want FORMENU
to think is your C drive:
SUBST C: A:\
Next run the configuration program, FMCONFIG.EXE and follow the prompts on the
screen.
Finally, modify the batch file, FM.BAT, that I have created for you. This will
have the substitution take place automatically each time you run FORMENU.
Now FORMENU will find "C:\FORMENU.CFG" as if you have a C drive.
NOTE: The DOS file SUBST.COM must be available for the batch file to run. (If
the DOS programs are in your path, and they usually are, everything should be
okay.)
