In article <9407@gryphon.COM> keithd@gryphon.COM (Keith Doyle) wonders how to make installation easier. In particular, how can an automated procedure add assignments to your startup-sequence. Here's an approach that requires Commodore to do something, but something VERY simple. Change the standard startup-sequence to include something like: EXECUTE S:ASSIGNS somewhere early on, and move all the standard assigns to S:ASSIGNS. Then installation scripts can just append to S:ASSIGNS. Of course, experienced startup-sequence hackers will move things all around, and may even delete the EXECUTE S:ASSIGNS line, but they can do the installations themselves. -Peter Schachte pds@quintus.uucp ..!sun!quintus!pds
