- SUBST
-
- The SUBST external command lets you substitute (refer to, use) a disk drive
- letter instead of a long pathname for a frequently used directory. SUBST is the
- opposite of JOIN. ASSIGN can also be used to substitute one disk drive letter
- for another.
-
- SUBST d1: [d2:][pathname]
- or
- SUBST d1: /D
- or
- SUBST
-
- d1: is the substitute drive letter you are defining. d1: must be within the
- range of valid letters established by the LASTDRIVE line in your
- CONFIG.SYS file.
-
- [d2:][pathname] is an existing pathname on a disk drive other than d1: that
- d1: is defining a substitute for.
-
- /D deletes a previously defined substitute.
-
- SUBST with no options will display a list of the currently defined substitute
- drives. SUBST won't work for disks on another computer in a network. Trying
- to use ASSIGN, BACKUP, CHKDSK, DISKCOMP, DISKCOPY, FDISK, FORMAT, JOIN, LABEL,
- REPLACE, or RESTORE on a disk defined by SUBST should be avoided.
