┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ GENERAL │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
This program renames directories. To use it, enter:
RENDIR oldname newname
The old and new names may contain drive and path, if desired. However,
you may only rename directories, not move them between parent directories or
drives. You may not rename the root directory, or use dot ("." or "..")
directory names.
The OS/2 Presentation Manager also lets you rename directories. However,
with THE DIRECTORY RENAMER, you can do this from the command line or from
within batch files as well. You can also run THE DIRECTORY RENAMER in a
Presentation Manager text window, if you like.
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

This program requires the OS/2 operating system, version 1.0 or later. A

│ MESSAGES │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Access denied. OS/2 wouldn't permit access to the directory.
Can't change drives. Both old & new names must be on same drive.
Directory renamed. Success!
Drive locked. Unlock the drive first.
File or path not found. Check your old & new names & try again.
Not DOS disk. OS/2 doesn't recognize the disk type.
Rename failed - reason unknown. Not much you can do about this. OS/2 didn't
say why it wouldn't rename the directory.
Sharing failure. Another program is probably accessing a file in the
directory. Try halting some other programs temporarily while you rename the
directory.
This program cannot be run in DOS mode. Either you're in OS/2's DOS com-
patibility box, or you're using the MS-DOS or PC-DOS operating system. You
must run this version of THE DIRECTORY RENAMER under the OS/2 operating
system, and you cannot be in the DOS compatibility box. As stated above, a
separate version of the program is available for MS-DOS/PC-DOS.
