JOIN
[drive:] [pathname] [lD]
Joins a disk drive to a specific pathname.
Parameters
drive: is the drive to be joined.
pathname is the drive and directory to which drive is joined.
/D turns off the effects of a previous JOIN command. You cannot
use /D with the pathname parameter.
Notes and Suggestions:
• JOIN links the root of a specified drive to a different path-
name. If the path already exists, it must be empty.
• If the pathname does not exist, JOIN tries to make a directory
with that pathname. After you issue the JOIN command, the
first drive name becomes invalid. If you try to use that drive
name, MS-DOS displays the error message, Invalid drive.
• You can only join a drive to a first level subdirectory, such as
join d: c:\memos.
However,
jOln d: c:\memos\june
is
incorrect.
• To undo the effects of a JOIN command, use this format:
join drive: /d
drive: represents the drive you wish to deselect. The /D switch
turns off the effects of the JOIN command.
• To display the current JOIN status, type:
j

Examples:
jOln b: a:\hardware
Joms the root directory of B: to the directory name
A:\HARDWARE. Now, when you type
a: \hardware,
MS-DOS
assumes you mean the root directory of Drive B.
