"<311 - CRC>" <ServicealaClientele%ville.quebec.qc.ca@localhost>



Another use of this environment variable is on a computer with no hard disk, which needs to boot from a floppy disk, is to configure a ram disk. The COMMAND.COM file is copied to the ram disk during boot and the COMSPEC environment variable is set to the new location on the ram disk. This way the boot disk can be removed without the need to reinsert it after a big application has been stopped. The command line interpreter will be reloaded from the ram disk instead of the boot disk.
