<> >My path statement has exceeded the legal limit allowed by DOS. Is there <> >any way to extend this? I thought the standard way would be to do: < < 127 character line length limit. Under 3.3, my current PATH is: < < PATH=C:\DOS;C:\;H:\;I:\;J:\;K:\;L:\;M:\;N:\;O:\;P:\;Q:\;R:\;T:\;U:\; < V:\;W:\;X:\;Y:\;Z:\;C:\BATS < <which is 21, if I counted right. I have SUBST's for everything from H: to SUBST confuses a lot of disk utilities. I prefer to simply have a longer PATH variable. There are numerous routines to permit this, many of which are available from SIMTEL and other archives. I even have my own, APPENV21, which simply provides a command for appending arbitrary text to the end of an existing environment variable, such as PATH. For example: set PATH=c:\bin;c:\dos;c:\norton;c:\spedstor;c:\qemm;d:\video; appenv PATH=d:\com\rbcomm33;d:\archiver\zoo; -- ___Mark S.
