  ROFL! What's the use of writing great straight lines if you won't use
them? At my age I take a root wherever I can get it.

 NP> Do you mean D:\ for each drive or \. ?

  D:\; C:\; F:\ for every bloody drive!

 NP> \. in the path will cover the root directory of the drive you

  That's what you said. It's a great idea... no, waita minit! No it's
not. I'll still have to put them in because I put the bat files and
things in various roots.

 NP> ATTRIB, Resets all attributes on all files

 NP> It turns the attributes off. i.e. Removes all RAS & H

  Jeeze... that's dangerous! I wish you hadn't told me that, now.

 NP> Just checked and there are 63 files (103k) in the BAT directory
 NP> of the RAMdrive. 

  Aaargh! How can you remember which is which?

 NP> Yell if want a ZIP full of Utilities. (even including peeking

  Now I'm into Pascal, it's just as easy to write a complete EXE, and
call *that* from a simple BAT file.
