- NAME
- Asn - Perform logical device and environment var assigns
- from a list file.
-
- SYNOPSIS
- Asn FILE
-
- DESCRIPTION
- Asn performs the assignments usually performed by the ASSIGN
- SET and SETENV commands using a user-supplied list file.
- If no FILE argument is specified, then the default file
- DEVS:AssignList is used.
- Asn allow the use of C-style comments like those of a
- MountList file.
- For logical devices the required syntax is similar to the
- ASSIGN command: the logical device name (with a ':') must be
- followed by the directory name it should be assigned to.
- For variable names a prefix must be attached to the variable
- name then the variable contents must follow.
- A prefix is required to distinguish beetween Workbench 1.3
- ENV: variables and ARP/Manx/Rockicki environment variables.
- For ENV: variables use a 'E_' prefix, for Manx variables use
- 'M_' prefix (both without quotes).
- Blanks, TABs, newlines and comments can be used to separate
- names in the file.
- Asn is useful for the startup file of hard disk users with
- a great number of assigns to perform.
