Msdos programs doesn't run
Posted on 2001-06-27
Hi:
When I had Windows 98, and wanted to execute MSDOS programs, and I had, for instance, a program in the root directory C:\, I could execute it in any directory under C:\ structure, just by putting a PATH command in the autoexec.bat.
Well, now with Windows 2000, it doesn't work. Moreover, instead of an autoexec.bat I have an autoexec.syd, and the PATH command is there, but doesn't work.
It is happening with dbase.exe program, which doesn't run. I thank very much if anyone could help me.
