When you want to run DOS boot from a floppy which has commands in its autoexec.bat file to set COMSPEC and PATH to the DOS directory files on the hard disk. An added advantage of this technique is that you can have several customized floppies for special purposes such as booting up with network drivers and/or cdrom support or even booting different versions of DOS (3.3 vs 4.0), (IBM vs MS). -- Phone: (home) 219-482-9631 E-mail: feustel@well.sf.ca.us {ucbvax,apple,hplabs,pacbell}!well!feustel USMAIL: Dave Feustel, 1930 Curdes Ave, Fort Wayne, IN 46805
