A friend of mine is using 3DS (R3 or R4, not sure which) has asked me to post
this question:
First he quotes the command line syntax for choosing the 3DS.SET:
3DS set=(filename).set
Then he asks: Can you start 3DS with different configuration parameters for
3DSNET.SET, 3DS.KEY and 3DS.SET at the same time?
Apparently this syntax doesn't work for the other files. He says he tried
setting environment varables, too.

"Can you start 3DS with different configuration parameters for 3DSNET.SET,
3DS.KEY and 3DS.SET at the same time?"
This is handled a little differently from the SETting you described for DS.set.
Use a batch file to start 3DS which does the copying.
Some lines could include:
3DSnet1.bat
C:
cd\3ds4
copy 3dsnet1.set 3dsnet.set
copy 3ds1.key 3ds.key
copy 3ds1.set 3ds.set
etc…
Does this help?
Hi, Nik;
I thought it would require something like that. I gather he will have _many_
setups to deal with. We may end up making a batch file similar to your example
but using %1, %2, %3,…
Thanks for your timely response.
