If these are only (directly) useful for the installer, then they probably don't need to be in %PATH%. But if you intend them to be generically useful for other purposes, then it wouldn't hurt to stuff them in %DOSDIR%\BIN. I dislike a long %PATH%, and there is a limit there (which I'm not exactly sure of, 255?). But, at the same time, stuffing hundreds of random utilities in C:\FDOS or C:\UTILS is also a bad idea. SUBST can help somewhat, but I haven't used it lately (or at least the very few times I tried it didn't quite work, not sure why). (Well, I'm not sure these comments are what you wanted to hear.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
