CAM June Edition Released, AmigaOS 4.0 details uncovered! : Comment 57 of 65 | ANN.lu |

I don`t think you can alias C: acutally Raffaele, and if you can, then you shouldn`t.
AmigaDOS uses C: as the commands directory. It points to SYS:C, SYS: being whichever disk you booted from and C being a directory in the root of that disk.
This could seriously upset AmigaDOS, if I typed C: in a shell (as you said) should AmigaDOS take me to hd0: or sys:c ???
*STOP PRESS*
I`ve just checked it. After you define and alias with the name C: everything else in that shell would then address the alias instead of the Assign. This could cause problems (such as "unknown command"), but for some reason doesn`t!
AmigaDOS is obviously smart enough!
Regards,
Frank. (I still think you shouldn`t do it though! :-) ) |
