- JOIN
-
- The JOIN external command tells DOS to use a directory name on one disk as a
- shorthand way of referring to another disk drive. This allows several
- physcial disks or partitions (say, D:, E;, and F:) to be referred to as
- parts of another disk (say, C:). The opposite of JOIN is SUBST.
-
- JOIN d1: [d2:]\directory
- JOIN d1: /D
-
- d1 and d2 are disk drive letters.
-
- <directory> is a directory on d2, and must be empty. It cannot be the
- current directory on d2.
-
- /D is used to delete the connection between d1 and the directory named on
- d2.
-
- After JOINing, the disk drive letter d1: cannot be referenced until the JOIN
- has been deleted. JOIN won't work for disks on another computer in a network.
- Trying to use BACKUP, REPLACE, RESTORE, or SUBST on a directory name defined
- by JOIN should be avoided.
