It takes lots of time to call programs from different directories. I ever wish me a program that calls other programs by enter a short keyword into the Shell. So here it is. It took 2 Days to create it. REQUIEMENTS Only OS 2.04+ FEATURES - Runs a program by enter the keyword into the shell - Works on every Process (Better than Aliases) - Directorychanges are available too - Low Resident Code - Only 1 Configurationfile INSTALLATION 1. Copy the mainfile (PathControl) into any directory you wish.(C: or any other) 2. If you like, make PathControl run automaticly from the Startup-Sequence. *** Don`t run from WB !!!! **** 3. Edit your Datafile. (look at "HOW TO EDIT DATAFILE" in this Documentation) 4. Copy The Datafile into S:,ENVARC: or in the same directory where you placed PathControl (PROGRDIR:) HOW TO EDIT DATAFILE First you enter the keyword for the program you want to run by it (or the directory you want to change to when you enter the keyword). **** Please don`t enter spaces into the keyword !!! **** The Case of the keyword has no effect.
