- ASSIGN [d1=d2 [...]]
-
- The ASSIGN external command tells DOS to use another disk drive than the one
- specified. The ASSIGN command can switch these names.
-
- ASSIGN [d1=d2 [...]]
-
- d1 and d2 are disk drive letters (without the colon (:)). After an
-
- ASSIGN A=C
-
- command, all references to drive A: are routed to drive C:. It's as if A:
- doesn't exist. SUBST C: A:\ is a more flexible way to do this. An ASSIGN
- command with no options will undo the effects of all previous ASSIGNs.
-
- Any ASSIGN commands used must appear after the first APPEND command. Trying
- to use BACKUP, CHKDSK, DISKCOMP, DISKCOPY, FDISK, FORMAT, JOIN, LABEL, REPLACE,
- RESTORE, or SUBST on a disk drive letter defined by ASSIGN should be avoided.
-
- CAUTION: COPYing from A: to C: with this ASSIGN is hazardous. If the filename
- is not changed by the COPY command, a file can be totally or partially lost.
