How do I keep the CT program, data files and log data separate?
CT makes it possible to organize your files so that the program, the data (.BIN) files and your log are all in different directories. It is a good idea to at least keep the data (.BIN) files separate from the actual program installation. It makes them easier to find, as well as prevents you from accidentally deleting needed files. You can add the path to CT into your PATH statement in your AUTOEXEC.BAT so that DOS will find the program no matter which directory you are in: set PATH = C:\CT9;%PATH% CT uses the CT_PATH environment variable to specify the location of the data (.CTY and .DAT) files. You will usually keep them with the CT program itself. Here is an example how you would specify CT_BAT in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file: set CT_PATH = C:\CT9 Specifying PATH and CT_PATH allows you to run the program from any directory. For example, if your current working directory is: C:\HOME and CT is installed in D:\CT, you could type the line: C:\HOME> CT D:\CT\LOGS\CQWW\CQCW99.
