Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club!

Hi Lester,
            Your welcome...and now that you
know how it works you can set it up any way
that works best for you.

    Just a comment...
       If you you put CDA.BAT in your PATH,
then you can use it from the command prompt
when you're in DOS. It will return you to D:\arc\
from wherever you are. That's why I suggested
puting it in D:\arc\. I assume D:\arc\ is in
your path, right?  There are many, many, times
that I want to return to my Arachne main
directory and do something before I start up
Arachne and I use CDA.BAT for that. I, also,
keep copies of several batch files on the
floppies I use to load Arachne to my RAM
drive. Those .bat files get loaded whenever
I boot up Arachne as part of the install
of Arachne to the RAM drive..
