- What were called 'Macros' in PipeDream 3 are called PipeDream Command
- Files in PipeDream 4. Michael Genever-Watling and others complain that
- often command files (macros) which load a file fail to run when the
- command file has been copied to a new disc or directory.
-
- Michael says "I have a problem with your Macro files which may be a bug
- in my version. I cannot run your Macros by double clicking on the Icon
- since all I get when I do is a "Can't find file ÿ" error (note that "y"
- is actually a y with double dot over it!). I can however run them
- using the keyboard command <Ctrl FZ>. If this isn't a bug can you
- advise what the problem is?"
-
- Well Michael, the problem is that the full path name in the command
- file does not correspond exactly to the correct full path name to the
- wanted file.
-
- If you send me an application which includes a file loading (or saving)
- macro then I put it on one of the PipeLine discs the chances are that
- my PipeLine disc name will be different from the disc name you have
- used. The result is that the path name is different and the command
- file fails to find the path!
-
- If you can work out a way around this problem then many of us would
- like to know the solution. I thought I had something using a
- *Set Macro$Dir command but I am afraid I lost it when my hard disc died
- in December 1991 and I can't remember how to reconstruct it!
