Aitor, there is (at least) one problem with this. DOS (shell) provides PATH for executables, which allows to abstract from precise executables placement (I may place them in any directory on any disk, and batch files remain same after I fix PATH). For libraries, there is no system-wide support for their locating, and you in any case should fix your, say, turboc.cfg to reflect precise library placement. To make case worser, for different compilers (and even one compiler versions) usually should be present different libraries. So, I doubt that system-wide LIB directory is have sense at all in DOS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
