Have you ever run into a program that MUST be executed from a particular
directory because it loads other files from the default (current) directory ?
I have, that's why I wrote this small batch file to save the current directory
so that you can switch to another directory to execute a program and then go
back to the original directory.


For example:
-----------------------------
Current Dir: C:\Games
Program to Run: C:\LC\LCSETUP

Note: You cannot use c:\lc\Lcsetup to run this program cause it looks for
the LC configuration file in the current directory. Dumb, but true.


You could do this:
------------------
@echo off
cd\lc
lcsetup
cd\games

But, what if I start the batch files from my c:\util directory ? In this
case, I want to go back to my c:\util directory!

  1. Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

  2. This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

  3. But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
