I have a very aged DOS program that uses data files which are stored in
a separate directory but recognises only drives and not paths. When I
run this program under DOS, I am able to solve this problem with the
"subst" command - e.g.
SUBST I: C:\path to desired directory.
When I attempt to use a similar routine under dosemu, the syntax is not
recognised and I get the following output instead:
C:\>SUBST I: D:\mm_data (issued command)
Resulting output:
================
Substitutes a path by a drive letter.
SUBST [drive1: [drive2:]path]
SUBST drive1: /D
drive1: drive letter to substitute
[drive2:]path drive and path to be accessed via drive1:
/D breaks off the relation between drive1 and drive2:path
------
Replacing D: by LINUX\FS/home directory, achieves nothing.
So what do I need to do to get the "subst" command to do what it
should under dosemu?
All help will be gratefully received.
