With PATH, you have to make a trip to the Control Panel to set permanent environment variables. Neither way is perfect. But fine, I'll let Windows handle searching in the PATH if there is no WGET command in GETPKGS.CFG. > It can't be that hard to check if the directory exists. OK, I'll try to implement this in the next version. INT 21h AH=4Eh should do it?

GETPKGS uses the index.lst files of the FDNPKG repositores (http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/1.1/repos/ ) to check whether their versions of the packages are newer than the ones in the package list file produced by GENPKGLS and downloads the zip files if so. Is there a better way to do it? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
