I really could use the keyboard layouts and the KEYB executable by now, for testing purposes. looks like KEYB cannot look into subdirectories, and thus the need for the PUSHD/POPD you see below: I'm not sure what KEYB does exactly for locating the layout file:
1)look in current directory? ( %_CWD% ) 2)look in directory where KEYB is located? 3)look in subdirectory KEY (if it exists) of any of the above mentioned directories? this because it's fast: step 4 is slow, and 5 also. 4)look in path? (%PATH%) 5)look in subdirectory KEY (if it exists) of any directory mentioned in the PATH?
say path=c:\fdos say current directory is C:\ say C:\FDOS\BIN\KEY\BR274.KL and C:\FDOS\BIN\KEY\BR.KL exist say KEYB is called from autoexec.bat in the following way: C:\FDOS\BIN\KEYB br,,br274.kl /id:274
in above situation, 1) will fail 2) will fail 3) will fail 4) will fail 5) would succeed, as it finds the requested file in the subdirectory KEY of one of the directories mentioned in the PATH variable.
can you help me out on this? I really do not wish to do the PUSHD/KEYB/POPD in autoexec.bat!
