INSTALLATION:
To install MR.EXE on your machine, you only need to copy MR.EXE to a
subdirectory that exists on your system path.
As an example, on our systems this directory is at D:\DOS\TLA. To
install MR.EXE, if MR.EXE is in the current directory, we would
enter:
copy mr.exe d:\dos\tla
ERROR MESSAGES:
MR.EXE issues the following error messages:
Error: Cross-device link.
You attempted to move a file from one volume to
another. MR.EXE does not support this function.
You must use a different utility, like COPY or
XCOPY to move from one volume to another.
Error: Incorrect number of parameters specified.
Too many parameters were specified.
Example: fe /? /ns
Error: No such file or directory.
The oldfile-specification does not identify a
file that exists. Check the correct spelling of
the oldfile file name.
Error: Parameter "xxxxxxxx" is invalid.
The parameter is incorrect.
Example: fe /z
Error: Permission denied.
The newfile-specification matches a file name
in the same directory. You are trying to rename
a file to a name that already exists. This
cannot be done. Check the correct spelling of
the newfile file name.
This message will also be issued if you attempt
to rename the default directory on the default
drive (while it's the default directory).
