Note: I've posted this in the "alternative operating systems" forum.  The question is Amiga related (read below).

I downloaded a little command line executable program that can run in windows and will play Amiga .anim files.

You have to run it from the Windows command line.

No problem, it runs fine.  But I constantly have to move the little executable player utility into each folder where the animation is so that I can do:

c: iffplayanim animationname.anim -loop

Of course if the executable (iffplayanim) is not in the folder, the command line interface cannot find it.

So....HOW can I make this little executable executable no matter what folder I am in?  I.e. I want to put it in one place where Windows CLI will always be able to find the utility, instead of having it only looking in the folder I am currently in.

From reading online, apparently I have to put it in some sort of PATH.  But there are no clear instructions on how to do this.

If this were an Amiga, I would simply drop the executable into the C/ folder of the Workbench partition.

I'm running Windows XP.

Thanks.
To see Amiga anim files under Windos, there is an easy solution, with Hollywood, Andreas as example has one AnimPlayer that you can compile for Windos and all systems, if you need an anim player you ask that someone compiled for you.
