and then
set HOME=d:\homes\%USER%
a detail: please not "homes" or whatever. Use "Documents and settings".
Yes, perhaps one day we'll have decent LFN support ;-)
(for non-LFN apps, use Docume~1 or whatever).
I'm thinking this should be more like Eric's implementation of GETARGS:
create a batchfile and allow to redirect it, then call it and delete it.
passwd.com would output contents like this:
@echo off
set user=Bernd
set home=R:\users\BBlaauw
and then do this (autoexec.bat):
passwd > output.bat
call output.bat
del output.bat
CDD %home%
echo Welcome to FreeDOS, %user%
a pity that not all known security measures work in FreeDOS.
SWITCHES=/F/N works (fdconfig.sys/config.sys),
but the command.com NUL trick does not
SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM NUL /P
followed by a CTTY CON at end of autoexec.bat
