- Yep, that's the best hint of all I read. My true friend Martin is of
- course absolutely right. Forget all that batch-tricks (if you don't
- wanna, move a 5MB file with only 2MB space left on disk ;-) ). 4DOS
- is a must for any user who is sick of that poor COMMAND.COM. Simply
- get a ftp-session on SIMTEL20 (or any mirror like oak.oakland.edu),
- find the 4DOS-directory and get the full featured trial-version plus
- lots of tools to make your life easier. And don't miss the newsgroup
- comp.os.msdos.4dos where all your problems will be solved.
-
- I KNOW this helps! Jochen

- P.S. to Martin: 4DOS-User halten zusammen, gelle? C U soon! =B*)
