| (dos_compactpath path maxchars) | Truncates a path to fit within a certain number of characters by replacing path components with ellipses. | DOS Lib |
| (dos_fullpath path) | Converts a partial path to a fully qualified path. Unlike the dos_makepath function, this function can be used with.\\ and..\\ in the path. The dos_fullpath function merges the name of the current drive and directory with the specified file name to determine the full path and file name of the specified file. It also calculates the address of the file name portion of the full path and file name. This function does not verify that the resulting path and file name are valid or that they refer to an existing file on the associated volume. | DOS Lib |

| (dos_relativepath path_from path_to) | Creates a relative path from one file or folder to another.

For example, let the starting point, path_from, be "C:\\One\\Two\\Three", and the ending point, path_to, be "C:\\One\\Four\\Five". The dos_relativepath function will return the relative path from path_from to path_to as: "..\\..\\Four\\Five". Note, you will get the same result if you set path_from to "\\One\\Two\\Three" and path_to to "\\One\\Four\\Five". On the other hand, "C:\\One\\Two\\Three" and "A:\\One\\Four\\Five" do not share a common prefix, and the function will fail. Also note that "\\" is not considered a prefix and is ignored. If you set path_from to "\\Two\\Three", and path_to to "\\Four\\Five", the function will fail. | DOS Lib |
| (dos_shortpath path) | Converts a long path name to a short path name. | DOS Lib |
| (dos_splitpath path) | Breaks a full path name into its four components. The function returns a list containing the four components. | DOS Lib |

| (dos_speaker frequency duration) | Plays a sound out of the PC speaker. Note, dos_speaker does not work on all systems. A long time ago, all PC computers shared a common 8254 programmable interval timer chip for the generation of primitive sounds. The dos_speaker function was written specifically to emit a beep on that piece of hardware. Since then, sound cards have become standard equipment on almost all PC computers. As sound cards became more common, manufacturers began to remove the old timer chip from computers. The chips were also excluded from the design of server computers. The result is that dos_speaker did not work on all computers without the chip. This was okay because most developers had moved on to calling the dos_beep function that uses whatever is the default sound device instead of the 8254 chip. | DOS Lib |
