How can I set the path to the location for graphics either for drive c or drive d that it runs when the graphic is located on one of the two drives ?

(e.g. ICON "?:\System\Apps\Calculator\calc.mbm"😉

This is how I do it...


	CONST KAppNameShort$="Core"
	GLOBAL Path$(255),Drive$(2),Data$(255),MbmFile$(16)
	...
	MbmFile$=KAppNameShort$+".mbm" : Data$="\System\Apps\"+KAppNameShort$
	Foo%=ASC("y"😉
	DO
		Drive$=UPPER$(CHR$(Foo%))
		IF EXIST(Drive$+":"+Data$+MbmFile$)
			Path$=Drive$+":"+Data$
			BREAK
		ENDIF
		Foo%=Foo%-1
	UNTIL CHR$(Foo%)="Y"
	IF Path$=""
		ALERT ("Support mbm file not found","Please re-install "+KAppName$)
		STOP
	ENDIF

And then you know that your graphics are on the drive in Drive$
