Subject: ZCPR problem
Actually, I am using NZCPR14, but I will take a fix from anyone.
The problem I have is that the .COM file search is not working
the way I expect. I have 3 drives, A: , B: , C: . The normal
default drive/user is A0, and I have SECURE enabled. I have .COM
files of the same name on both A: and C:, and C: uses USER's 1-6,
with the .COM files in USER 0. When logged onto C: in User 1-6, and
I try to run one of the .COM files common to both A: & C:, it
appears that the C: file is selected about every other time, with
the A: file getting used instead of the C: file. What I wanted was
the C: file in user 0 to execute every time if logged anywhere on
C:. Is this due to SECURE, a bug? or do I mis-understand the search
pattern as described in the doc..???? I would like the search pattern
to look like; 1)current drive/user, 2)current drive user 0, 3)drive A
user 0...it may not be quite that way, but what I mean is that the
current drive needs to be checked twice at least, prior to switching
to the DEFAULT (A in this case)..Is it me?? or what??
Thanks for any help. I realize the "REAL" ZCPR group is not supporting
the NZCPR stuff, but maybe a hint, or if it is a bug, a fix.
