drawer named from date

With OS4, you can do

Code: [Select]

makedir `date lformat %Y-%m-%d`
Not sure if your version of C:Date has the LFORMAT argument.

Edit: Seems not, according to Kolla's post above. Sorry.

Best regards,

I used to add several 'c' directories onto my system drive which are late-assigned to C: during startup.
This way i have a rather small C: (or sys:C/) but all my (de)crunchers are in sys:c3/, my own tools are in sys:c_plus/ and so on but they are still reachable from the path.

I once did that too. One downside of that is that when you install updates to the system components, or vice versa to the third party tools, you may be surprised by where they end up. In practice, I would end up installing everything by hand, even when it had installation scripts.

Sure, but isn't that the fun of being able to do just that on Amiga?

Not in cases where you are trying to test the software, including its installation script.
