Yes I know, it's just the PATH statement and DOS users should know their AUTOEXEC.BAT. But on the other hand we are talking about a package manager. And as everyone has learned either from apt-get or from App Store: If you've installed something, it's ready to run. There might be some user settings left to be configured, but in general it should just work. And I think this is a good thing. Making things complicated is not a virtue. If someone thinks otherwise, he should have met my Ex. :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
