With DOS 3.2 I used a program called Setpath.exe.This program had
one create a an ASCII file that only had the path in it and mine
was about 300 bytes.

The latest version is Setpth13.ZIP.You can get it from most BBS's.
It has been revised to work with DOS 3.3 and 4.x .

You can also get the program for $ 15.00 from:
