Re: VDL

Carl,

This is a good idea. I've used aliases for testing only, so I don't care if
I lose them in this update, but for the future, when I'm relying on
vDos-lfn, this is an important improvement. Given its intended use, one
might say it's an important import improvement.


Regards,
Harry

Harry,

> I'm set now.

Good! But, actually ... you're not set. Not yet. I've revised the VDL
package to make several changes, including:

- Important code tweaks to VDL.BAT

- Aliases are no longer stored in VDL.BAT, but in a separate file,
VDLALIAS.BAT. This is so that you'll be able to install new versions of
VDL.BAT without overwriting your aliases every time.

- There is now a separate documentation file, VDL.TXT.

- Updated U2 routines, VDL,VDL/, are in VDL.FRM.

As usual, you can download VDL.ZIP here:
http://users.datarealm.com/ammaze/xy/VDL.ZIP

Before downloading, however, be sure to copy your current aliases to a
temporary file. Unzip VDL.ZIP into your vDos-lfn directory, overwriting
all existing files. Copy your aliases from the temporary file into
VDLALIAS.BAT. Note that the third line of the alias subroutine is no
longer EXIT /B; it's GOTO:EOF, as in:

:Aliasname
set VDLargs=[vDos-lfn configuration arg(s) here]
goto :eof

Enjoy!
