LHA
Pete:
I agree with your suggestion/observation/recommendation of just where
non-C= commands should reside… It is all too easy to litter the C:
directory with so many programs/commands that it becomes difficult to root
out the original C= supplied directory! I think it was Denny Atkin that
detailed a pretty elegant way of placing all of your add on stuff in a
separate directory (or maybe that was with regard to placing mount
commands somewhere other than in the User-Startup). In any case, gaining
an understanding of the PATH command can certainly go a long way in
helping a user keep things organized on a hard drive!
That being said <g>, for the new user just learning to grapple with how to
execute ANY command from the CLI, _and_ trying desparatly to unpack the
first xxx.LHA program they have ever downloaded, instructing them to place
LHA in the C: directory, IMO is a forgivable sin. And on ethat is easly
corrected for when a greater understanding of the system and how it works
is gained.
As far as Stephan Boberg goes… I sent my shareware fee about the same
time you did, and have yet to hear anything in return. <sigh>
