| RE: auto execute order | | Find an auto folder with serveral programs in it already, or | just copy a few programs into it if it's empty. Use the | SHOW INFO menu in DESKTOP to change filenames to modified | the file time stamp, the order of programs being executed | can be changed. My tests with the \AUTO\ folder do NOT exactly produce your results. Executable files in the folder are executed in the order of their physical presence: first-in first-executed. Non-executable files are skipped over! Using your method to change GDOS.PRG to GDOS.PRZ causes it to be skipped over, also. If I rename it back, it executes at the place that it originally executed. Therefore, one can construct the \AUTO\ folder in a lattice, and by renaming, have the equivalent of multiple boot auto-EXEC sequences. Ralph P.
