Here is Eric's comment (sent by private email). I decided to post it here because someone else might find it useful as well.
--------- L: which version of the following commands in Fdauto.bat is correct? Eric: - version 1 is correct - version 2: dos has no way to know that "temp" is not the name of a command - version 3: could conceivably be supported, if it is defined that = signs must not be part of command names. However, no command.com that i know of does support this syntax yet version #1: SET DOSDIR=D:\FDOS SET NLSDIR=%DOSDIR%\NLS SET HELPPATH=%DOSDIR%\HELP SET PATH=%DOSDIR%\BIN SET TEMP=E:\TEMP SET TMP=E:\TEMP SET DIRCMD=/P /OG /A version #2: DOSDIR D:\FDOS NLSDIR %DOSDIR%\NLS HELPPATH %DOSDIR%\HELP PATH %DOSDIR%\BIN TEMP E:\TEMP TMP E:\TEMP DIRCMD /P /OG /A version #3: DOSDIR=D:\FDOS NLSDIR=%DOSDIR%\NLS HELPPATH=%DOSDIR%\HELP PATH=%DOSDIR%\BIN TEMP=E:\TEMP TMP=E:\TEMP DIRCMD=/P /OG /A --------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
