drive or a path.
VERSION
PC-DOS 3.0+
MS-DOS equivalent: SUBST (3.0+)
TYPE
External
SYNTAX
[d:][path] SUBST d1: d2:path
or
[d:][path] SUBST d1: /D
or
[d:][path] SUBST
OPTIONS
[d:][path] Specifies the drive letter and path that
contain the SUBST command file.
d1: Indicates the new drive designator.
d2:path Indicates the existing drive and path.
/D Deletes the specified substitution.
EXAMPLES
SUBST D:C:\VERY\LONG\PATH\NAME
Whenever D: is used, the path name C:\VERY\LONG\PATH\NAME is
substituted.
SUBST
displays the currently defined substitutions.
MESSAGE
Cannot SUBST to a network drive
You cannot substitute a drive for a network path or substitute a
network drive for a local path.
UNDO
To discontinue the currently defined substitutions, enter
SUBST d:/D
for each substitution.
NOTE
Because SUBST substitutes drive letters for path names, it
can be used to fool programs that do not recognize path names
into using them indirectly. SUBST can be used with certain
programs that do not recognize paths and can also be used as a
type of shorthand for long path names.

Robotics nuts!Check out http://users.frii.com/dlc/robotics/projects/botproj.htm from Dennis Clark. This guy ROCKS! He has made (and sells but also releases code, docs, etc...) for a number of cool little robotic modules including whiskers, IR proximity detect and remote control, Sonar proximity detect, PWM, Servo, compass. Most of these use the little PIC 12C508 controller which costs basically nothing and is soooo tiny.The 4 servos, 2400 baud serial servo controller is a wonder of magic and he sells the programmed chip for $8. Wow! |
