Hi Don, You might want to read the FreeDOS wiki article that describes the package structure: http://freedos.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Package
Shortly answered, the "link" files are a recent feature of FDNPKG, that makes it possible to make programs runnable within %PATH% without the need of putting everything to %FREEDOS%\BIN (which should be strictly reserved for BASE software). To create a link inside a package, one has simply to create a "LINKS" directory inside the zip archive, and put a file named "PKGNAME.BAT" inside it, where "PKGNAME" is the name of the package. Inside the BAT file, FDNPKG expects to find the relative path to the executable that needs to be "linked". Example of a package structure for ZIP: BIN\ZIP.EXE APPINFO\ZIP.LSM LINKS\ZIP.BAT The "LINKS\ZIP.BAT" would then contain exactly a single line stating "BIN\ZIP.EXE" Mateusz On 27/05/2016 17:41, Don Flowers wrote: > Hey Jerome, > I posted a couple of questions of FB and just thought of another one. > Where is the LINKS.BAT file located?
