SUBST
The description below is from the book
DOS the Easy Way by Everett Murdock Ph . D .

CLICK HERE for information about downloading the book .

Type: External (3 . 1 and later)

Syntax:

SUBST d: d:path
SUBST d: /D

Purpose: Substitutes a virtual drive letter for a path designation .


Discussion
Use the SUBST command to substitute a drive letter for a path in order to treat a virtual drive (a reserved area rather than an actual disk drive) as a physical drive .

In order to enter drive designations using any letter (other than just the letters for the physical drives installed in your computer), you may have to add this line to a CONFIG . SYS file that should be placed in the root directory of your startup drive:

LASTDRIVE=Z

Six DOS commands cannot be used with virtual drives created with the SUBST command . They are:

CHKDSK
DISKCOPY
FDISK
FORMAT
LABEL
SYS

If you enter the SUBST command without options , the program will display the name of the current virtual drives that are in effect (if any) .

For more information on SUBST and other hard disk commands, see Chapter 3, Using Fixed Disks, in the downloadable book DOS the Easy Way .


Example
To create a virtual drive F for the path, SALES\LETTERS (under the root directory) of drive C, enter

subst f: c:\sales\letters

Read and write requests to either drive F or to C:\SALES\LETTERS will be stored in the C:\SALES\LETTERS directory area .

xcopy d:\*.* /s c:\cdcopy and then find the executable which starts the game and make an icon/shortcut of it? :D

Who needs a real "iso" image of a CD, then software to make it behave like a directory tree? It already is a directory tree, which happens to have been stored on a CD. The copy makes it back into a standard directory tree.

224481 2004-03-24 06:22:00 use WinISO it is really easy to use. Creates .ISO files but can convert these to .BIN + .CUE files, and vice versa nice and easy. The lastest version of NERO allows for cd emulation but as with all the latest NERO software its bloated and a real pain Pete O'Neil (250)
