- Or try 4DOS, IMHO one the the best shareware programs around... not
- only extends the command line to 256 characters but provides lot of
- other enhancements to command.com as well - and it works fine with
- Pathworks.
-
- As far as the /437usa directory goes - I've never had it in my path and
- everything works.
