#path problem
3 messages in this thread
HI
Have a serious problem with mit a2000 GVP3001 wb2.04 .
After a crash yesterday I found that my Amiga does not know the command
"path" anymore. Any Information to this would be appreciated.
Ith could be, that some of the problems I have with certain programms are
caused by this error.
I never heard anything about the possiblility that a single command can
dissapear out of the internal rom…
Since I'm ot an expert in programming or Hardware any Information would be
appreciated.
thank's al lot……Harald

Harald,
unlike many computers, the Amiga commands are not stored on ROM or
built into the DOS shell, unless you are using a replacement shell.
Instead, each command is stored in the C: directory on your harddisk.
Open a shell, do a "Dir" command (without the quotes) and see if Path is
listed. If not, then you will need to reinstall it from a floppy, such as
a Workbench floppy.
If it is listed, then something very strange is happening. For some
reason, Workbench or the Shell can't find your C: directory. Make
absolutely sure that you do not have C: assigned somewhere else. If you
type "assign" at a Shell prompt, it should show you were C: is assigned.
Make sure it is what it is supposed to be.
I hope this helps. (BTW, I put this a bit simplistically, but I did
that for the language barrier. Ich spreche ein bischen Deutsch ;-).
Hi Brian thank's for the info. Though in WB2.04 some of the basic
commands are internal. I did install the path from the 1.3 disk.
Everything is fine now.
