- I have a PD mv that I forget where I got it from. Someone previously
- responded to your request and suggested one called SMOVE (SuperMove or
- something?). I suggest that you look into the same location for
- all the mv utilities, i.e. get all of them and read their man pages.
- The reason is that many of them don't mv directories so that you
- can do something like:
-
- mv file1 file2
- mv file dir
- mv dir1 dir2
-
- Check 141.210.10.117 (what is its IP name?) in the following directories:
-
- pub/msdos/sysutl (most likely in this one)
- pub/msdos/filutl
- pub/msdos/dirutl
-
- Don't forget to get their 00-index.txt files first. Also, the mv might
- be inside a whole package which usually says something like "unix utils
- for dos...".
-
- So, have a good hunting time.
