- ║ Introduction ║
- ╚══════════════╝
-
- Time and Time again I have had to reboot after changing my DOS
- Path. Well I got Tired of it, so I came up with a PATH Editor
-
- EDITPATH is a one line word processor that will allow you to
- edit the existing PATH environment without having to reboot. This
- is just the first BETA version so it only handles PATH's that are
- 80 Characters or less. EDITPATH supports your arrow keys as well
- as backspace and delete keys, thus giving you enough flexibility
- to edit your path properly.
-
- Just simply type EDITPATH or whatever you rename it to, and your
- present path will appear between two double lines as shown below.
- If your path is non-existant then you will be returned to the DOS
- prompt.
-
-
- ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
- D:\UTL;D:\RBASE;C:\DOS;D:\MASM;D:\MSC;
- ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
-
- Hit ENTER after you have finished Editing your Path, you will be
- prompted as to whether or not you want to save the new path. Hitting
- <y> will change the path, hitting anything else will leave the path
- unchanged.
-
- If you decide you want to edit the existing PATH then type the new
- directory you wish to add or remove one you don't need.
-
- Its as simple as that....................
-
- I have received some input on the editor, comments include the INSERT
- key toggle should work. I agree, however I'm still working on that
- The edit portion in is ASSEMBLY language and it takes me a little longer
- with assembly than it does "C" Version 4.0 will support the HOME, END and
- INSERT keys.

- ║ History ║
- ╚═════════╝
- Version 3.0 8 May 1990
-
- o FIXED - Bad Switch Statement causing it to recognise
- only UPPER case code.
-
- o Program now exits when trying to edit a PATH that doesn't
- exist.
-
- o Fixed the problem with having a an option to save a
- blank path (Thus setting it to Null) Now you have
- an option before you didn't. Also eliminates the
- PATH= being located in the environment when a empty
- PATH was saved.
-
- o Added a function to delete trailing blanks in the string
-
- Version 2.0 7 May 1990
-
- o Added more Prompts to make the program safer to use.
-
- o Added a heap Manager

-
- o First release of Wide BETA test. Many Quirks were found.
-

-
- DAVID DUBOIS - For Writing the Environment Manipulations routines
- Originally in Pascal SETPATH.PAS from BPROGA

-
- WAYNE JAMES - For hunting the above Source Code down for me.
-
- DOUG MACLEAN - RIME "C" Conference Host for listening to me bitch
- about DOS limitations and offering examples on how

- ideas off him. If you aren't participating in the
- RIME (RelayNet International Message Exchange) "C"
- conference and your a "C" programmer then your missing
- something special.
