Path in Autoexec.bat
My path command is:
SET PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;"C:\Program Files\Norton SystemWorks\Norton Ghost\";C:\PROGRA~1\ATITEC~1\ATICON~1 and it causes an error : Too many parameters. How can I modify it so that the Ghost portion is loaded and also the ATI Control Panel? Thanks

Just curious because I thought that if a name was over 8 characters in DOS, you needed to encase it in quotation marks. Thanks for the reply to my original question.

DOS simply does not support file names greater than 8 characters.

It certainly threw me a first. Remember that the SET command creates system literals. I don't know if I can verbalize it, but instead of handling an argument from the command line to a program, the system is directly handling a literal value. I don't know if that is even in the ballpark but I would appreciate commentary on the accuracy/inaccuracy of my comment. FACE

I just changed my config.sys to put the DOS=HIGH,UMB second in line instead of third. DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS DOS=HIGH,UMB DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS (PS: I also just added NOEMS to that line;ie: before it just read DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE) I also changed the : DEVICE=C:\CDROM\CDTECH.SYS /D:MSCD001 /UDMA2 /V to load high as I had it set to load high in autoexec.bat so that it would match up (LH C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001 /M:10)DEVICEHIGH=C:\CDROM\CDTECH.SYS /D:MSCD001 /UDMA2 /V and now I no longer receive the 'too many parameters' error. I don't know which one did the trick, but perhaps later, I will undo one change at a time to see if I can recreate the problem.
