Ticket #340, comment 2
initial v1 1 1 The reason behind this failure is this change to `cube`: http://trac.netlabs.org/cube/changeset/5. It broke the "magic" hack by Yuri Dario which would replace the drive letter in `c:\config.sys` with the drive letter of `\OS2` in PATH (normally the OS/2 boot drive letter). I guess Yuri did this hack specifically to overcome the issue you are now facing. 2 2 3 Lewis, Silvan says that this change was made on behalf of your request. Can you please clarfy the exact situation where this Yuri's hack prevented `cube` from working on your side? This is needed for a proper workaround.3 Lewis, Silvan says that this change was made on behalf of your request.
