- 4DOS Tips and Tricks
- by Ray Tackett
-
-
- The TNT package consists of several "sub"zip files, each organized around
- a particular theme:
-
- NOLTR.ZIP Shows how to be almost completely independent of drive letters.
- On a system like mine, with twelve logical drives, nobody wants
- to remember where everything is. You can also learn how to set
- up your batch files so you don't have to edit them if you move
- a directory from one logical drive to another.
-
- AUTOEXEC.ZIP Shows some tricks for keeping your configuration under control.
- Overlaps somewhat with NOLTR.ZIP.
-
- DO.ZIP A single batch file to replace many of the little buggers you
- can't quite manage to replace with aliases.
-
- STRING.ZIP Shows several variations on a single string checking/manipulation
- theme.
-
- ALIAS.ZIP Shows some tricks with nested aliases and a way to keep your
- PATH string minimal.
-
- MISC.ZIP A few miscellaneous goodies that might spark your own ideas.
-
- These tips and tricks are in the public domain. However, my ego would be
- happier if appropriate credit were given when this material is distributed.
-
- The intended audience is 4DOS users who are over the "beginner hump" and
- are ready to explore the full power of 4DOS.
-
- These tips and tricks are by no means complete or comprehensive. They are
- intended as points of departure for your own ideas.
