Ian, I would think this would be simple, but beats me. From a Dos box typing "path" yields a string wrapped to fill 4 lines, largely supporting Visual Studio.
If, from within the _same_ Dos box, I start qEdit and shell to a Dos prompt and type path I get something different... from just a few characters to a 1+ line string of "short" directory names that resembles the actual path, but is not complete. Using envval, Rbase puts the entire path into a variable, but can't find a program in the path using zip. I'm pretty certain it has something to do with the OS... as Eric said, maybe the path is just to long... thanks, Ben Petersen On 4 Dec 2001, at 15:11, Ian Chivers wrote: > Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Priority: NORMAL > X-Mailer: Execmail for Win32 5.1.1 Build (10) > MIME-Version: 1.0 > Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset="us-ascii" > > On Mon, 3 Dec 2001 15:18:20 -0000 Ben Petersen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > Thanks Eric, > > > > I did install VC++.
