Thanks to both Charles Dye and mathewsd w. The reason I wanted to copy _most_ of the old drive is so I can dig up software I used to use and replace it on the new drive with newer versions and also to be able to use the old parameters on those programs that had parameters in them. These are...

I am new to TCC and am using a 30 day evaluation of the latest version. Formerly I had and used version 12 but it's been a long time. I'm a Linux user and Windows is hard for me. The old version 12 is on the drive I want to copy and I don't know the syntax of a copy command that would copy the...

Thanks Charles and Peter. Pasting it into Options > Windows > Directory Colors worked just fine. I think green is the color for executables. I'll check the others against Linux colors so they are the same. I'm now basically through the first round of tweaking Windows. BTW, I found a nice way...

I have a command string for color left over from 4nt. It is: ColorDir=dirs:bri blu on whi; com exe bat btm sys:bri gre; zip ar* lzh rpm:bri red; jp* gif bmp tif*:bri mag; bak:bri blu;doc nfo lba who: ; StdColors bri whi on blu Is there a way to incorporate this into tcmd and tcc terminals...

Thank you very much David and Charles. Problem is solved. Larry

My boo, boo. Thanks Charles. There is one final problem. I can set aliases from a 2 line file like: alias al=alias alias pf:=c:\Program Files\ Note that according to TakeCommand.pdf it is not necessary to quote an alias definition. Here is a slightly longer version that won't set any aliases...

Thank you very much for the fix to my old NT alias. There is one final pressing question. In c:\Program Files\JPSoft\tcmd10 I have the file tcstart.btm which has only the following two lines: unalias * alias /r c:\Documents and Settings\larry\alias.lst In c:\Documents and Settings\larry I...

rem tcstart.btm startup alias and color file : Directory Targets : ----------------- alias ~=\Documents and Settings\lba alias pf="c:\program files" alias ho*me="c:\documents and settings\lba" alias ro*ot=cd \ alias myd="c:\Documents and Settings\lba\My Documents" alias dl="c:\Documents and...

After 15 replied to my thread "Cannot apply Start In folder for Tcmd" but it appears that only 8 replies are viewable by me. I think Jpsoft cut me off for some reason. Emailed them but no answer yet. Luckily I was subscribed to the Jpsoft mailing list and all the email came through there. I'm...

Charles, I'm not sure what to do here. I _thought_ you told me to put the file where tcmd wants it, in c:\ The file that is actually there now is tcmd.ini. Larry

Here is my tcmd.ini file which I have moved to c:\ alias pf="c:\program files" alias ho="c:\documents and settings\lba" alias r=cd \ al*ias=if[%# eq 0, *alias | *list /s,*alias %$] There don't seem to be any rem or comment statements. Is the above workable? Larry

David I have set the TCSTART/TCEXIT path to "c:\program files\jpsoft\tcmd12" and created a new file for shortcuts and colors in the same directory named tcstart.btm I'm still having problems configuring the tcmd shortcut. In at: "C:\Program Files\JPSoft\TCMD12\tcmd.exe" In in: "c:\Program...

Hello. I am using Take Command.pdf and trying to set up a command line for my Tcmd startup icon that contains a pointer to the Tcmd.ini. My intention is then to place a line loading my alias file and some color directives in Tcmd.ini. The command line in the icon properties is: "C:\Program...

Thanks David. I'll find out how because I like to copy tidbits into my own files. Larry

Thanks very much David. I'll try Option although I'm comfortable with editing such files. My Windows right now is XP but I'll be loading Win 7 Professional in a few days since XP is a little obsolete. My alias file will probably have to be completely rewritten so the old XP aliases will run...
