Autoexec.bat File
In addition to the [config.sys] file, device and configuration startup
commands and paths are loaded into the system operating
environment by the
[autoexec.bat] file, which is also located in the
root directory. Programmers and application developers may use
this file to load their applications into the Apex PDT system.
As with the [config.sys] file, the Apex PDT utilizes two
[autoexec.bat] files (one on
A:
drive and one on
C:
drive). The
Apex PDT default [autoexec.bat] files are shown below:
A:\>[autoexec.bat]
@echo off
prompt=$p$g
path=a:\;c:\dos;c:\bin;
c:
%IF EXIST c:\autoexec.bat c:\autoexec
Note: The
%IF EXIST
command in the last line of the
A:
[autoexec.bat] file ties the file to the
C:
[autoexec.bat] file.
