It will not change the drive for you, just the directory. CDD! acts just like CD except that it fixes these four problems. CDD! is slower since it is must be loaded each time, whereas CD is internal to DOS. CDD! similar to 4DOS CDD. MASM/OPTAsm source included. May be freely distributed and used for any purpose except military.

971218 6k 1 KeyBuf expands the keyboard buffer. This buffer is used by BIOS to store the unread keystrokes; the standard buffer is 32 bytes long and can contain up to 16 key strokes (each one is a 2 bytes code).
