Lines: 14 Another solution is to use 4dos, whic is a shareware command.com replacement. It is available on Simtel20 and its mirror sites. 4dos adds a whole bunch of things that command.com does not have, has been completely compatible for me so far. I shell to it from win3, and it works just fine. You can define very large environment areas in for your path, set variables and aliases (three separate areas). Works like a breeze. kartik ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anant Kartik Mithal akm@cs.uoregon.edu Department of Computer Science akm@oregon.BITNET University of Oregon
