Setting Up the Path on an MS-DOS Workstation
When the Setup program installs a LAN Manager Enhanced or Basic
workstation, it adds the directory you specified for the LAN Manager
software to the computer’s search path. By default, the following
directory is added to the path:
For Enhanced workstations:
For Basic workstations
If the directory causes the path to exceed 127 characters (an MS-DOS

added, Setup displays a message warning you that the path is too long.
Û If the path is too long
1. Restart the computer with a bootable floppy disk.
2. Edit the path entry of the AUTOEXEC.BAT file to include less than

3. Remove the floppy disk and reboot the computer.
