- I am trying to set up a detection routine for my startup 2.0
- sequence to recognize that my 1.3 rom is turned on and switch
- to the directory that contains my 1.3 startup files, c:, libs:,
- etc. I saw a reply to someone's similar request and I include it here:
- ********
- Version
- wb1.3:c/If not fail
- (......normal 2.0 startup-sequence)
- Endcli >NIL;
- endif
- wb1.3:c/cd wb1.3:
- wb1.3:c/Assign c: wb1.3:c
- (Make all necessary assigns to s: devs: l: libs:, etc...)
- Execute s:startup-sequence ; (1.3 startup)
- EndCLI
- *******
-
-
- I am uncertain just how to actually type in these lines to my
- 2.0 startup-sequence.hd, which I include below.

- As a novice at changing startup sequences, I am nervous about where to
- type the, above listed, changes.
-
- I created a directory on my hard drive (DH0:) called "wb1.3",
- in which I have put most all of the contents of a 1.3 workbench
- disk.
-
- Would someone mind emailing me as to where these changes actually fit
- into my startup sequence.
-
- Thanks a lot,
