AmigaOS filesystem layout

[paul1981]

Assign would have been more powerful if relative assignments could be reassigned when a parent assignment changes. If relative assigned were allowed, then all of these assigns:

Code: [Select]


Assign SYS: HD:
Assign C: SYS:C
Assign S: SYS:S
Assign L: SYS:L
Assign LIBS: SYS:Libs
Assign DEVS: SYS:Devs
Assign FONTS: SYS:Fonts
Assign LOCALE: SYS:Locale
Assign HELP: LOCALE:Help
Assign KEYMAPS: DEVS:Keymaps
Assign PRINTERS: DEVS:Printers
Assing ENVARC: SYS:Prefs/Env-Archive
Assign REXX: SYS:Rexx


could be reassigned to CD0: with:

Code: [Select]


Assign SYS: CD0: PATH


Even more powerful would be:

Code: [Select]


Assign SYS: CD0: PATH ADD


Note that this is not how assign currently works. Also, assign with PATH and ADD options won't work.
