Re: vDos-lfn is now officially vDosPlus!

Hi Carl,

I think you can set a 4DOS environment variable that returns the vDosPlus directory easily by adding the following command in autoexec.txt:

SET VDOS_DIR=%_CWD

Hope this helps.

Surely you jest, Harry. Do yourself a favor and put the vDos(Plus)
directory in the Windows path! And, yes, if you're coding for anyone
besides yourself, you do need to have the fully-qualified path and
filename. Ergo, you need a way to figure out what the fully-qualified
path is. U2 solution: vDosDir= in XYWWWEB.REG. A better, more
universal, and hands-off solution would be a 4DOS environment variable
that returns the vDosPlus directory.

Wengier?
