The PATH setting for %DOSDIR%\LINKS has nothing to do with either networking or the LINKS web browser. It is a directory where the package manager places small com or batch files that “link” to programs that are not generally included in the PATH settings. Depending on wether or not a full installation is performed. Or, if other packages that use the %DOSDIR%\LINKS directory are installed, that directory may or may not exists. That is why was entered into FDAUTO using the IF EXIST statement and not just always set into the PATH. _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
