- (The dir vs. dosdir above is a typo on my part!)
-
- The problem is that you should be using forward slashes with the dos
- commands. For example, use this instead:
-
- dosdir c:/news/comp/os/os2
-
- and it will work, I almost guarantee it. :-)
-
- Another lus for Coherent 4.0 is that it does work with large DOS partitions.
- I used it today to transfer several files to a directory on a 100MB drive
- (single partition) and it worked like a charm.
