[guide-user] Re: SA1.0 Usage

Denis;

Thkx. Changing the CD drive letter worked. Only thing, it appears
that 'all' *.mar files need to be changed. When using another *.mar to go
somewhere else and then trying to access the SA1.0 it again asks for drive
D:\ because there are CD drive letter assignments in all *.mar's.

I'll investigate further because my CD drive letter is F:\ and my SA1.0
is on drive E:\ and GUIDE is on C:\ There's gotta be a way to get around
this. You need the CD drive letter for referencing data on the CD, you need
a HD drive letter for accessing on the hard drive and you need a drive
letter for the SA1.0/SA2.0 drive if it is different than where the GUIDE
directory resides.

Would there be a way to default the drive addressing on line 63 so
newly created *.mar files will have an ' * ' instead of a letter yet allow
accessing the CD and other HD's? Would that even work?

That gives us a starting point. Thkx...joe :)
