- COMMAND: ASSIGN (Assign Drives)
-
- FUNCTION: Instructs DOS to use a different drive from the one that was
- specified for disk operations.
-
- FORMAT: ASSIGN [x=y[...]]
-
- TYPE: DOS external command
-
- REMARKS: The first drive letter is internally converted by DOS to the second
- drive letter. Do not enter a colon after either drive specification.
- Entering ASSIGN with no parameters causes all drive assignments to be
- reset so that normal drive assignments will resume. DISKCOPY,
- DISKCOMP, and FORMAT will ignore any drive reassignments. This
- command is of most use with applications written to perform their
- disk operations on drives A and B.
