- <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< ASSIGN >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
-
- PURPOSE: Tells DOS to use a different drive from the one that was
- specified. This corrects problems caused when a program arbitrarily
- specifies a drive that is not on your microcomputer.
-
- NOTE: This will not work with some copy-protected applications
- programs that call for an original floppy disk supplied by the
- publisher to be in Drive A. Thus an ASSIGN A=C will not circumvent
- requirements that an original system disk be in Drive A for programs
- like Lotus 1-2-3 or dBase III.
-
- ; ASSIGN B=A ... Causes DOS to use Drive A whenever
- ; a program calls for use of Drive B
- ; -- a useful feature if you have a
- ; floppy Drive A and a fixed Drive C.
-
- ; ASSIGN ... Will undo the reassignment so that
- ; physical drives are the same as
- ; assigned drives.
