I often boot from a floppy and when I start xtree, it grinds as it loads "comman.com"
how can I put in a line so it r looks for comman.com on the c: drive. ? usually the same version is on the floppy and the hard drive.

Is there room for the comman.com (com port manager?) file on the disk? Sometimes it's just easier to copy the file where the program expects it to be.

I make up a boot floppy ( win 98 dos)
and run xtree from the floppy
it grinds as it loads, i believe , command com
how could I tell it to use the command,com on the c": drive

there is a command.com on the floppy but I would prefer to redirect it to the c: drive.

Wasn't there something like set shell=command.com that you can place in config.sys or autoexec.bat?
