- I'm having real trouble with nul: in windows:
-
- echo > nul
- echo > nul:
-
- both cause sharing violations. (I have 'share' installed, though I don't
- think that it's used for nul:.)
-
- Many of my batch files redirect output to nul:, so they won't run from a DOS
- shell (full-screen or in a window), and MS C/C++ 7.0 programmer's workbench
- won't compile files under windows, because it generates makefiles that
- redirect output to nul:
-
- Has anyone heard of this problem or a fix for it?
- I'm using Dos 5.0, Win 3.1, and 386-Max.
