The only problem is that '/' is the switch character used to indicate options to most programs. What you need to do is put the following line in your CONFIG.SYS file: switchar = - which will make the switch character a '-', same as unix, and will also eliminate any problems with '/'. I.e. instead of saying: format /v you now say format -v This makes things much less confusing for us Unix users. Tw NOTE: if you put the above switchar in your config.sys, be warned that it takes effect immediately, so if you plan to do something like shell = xyz /f with some flag later in the same config.sys, it won't work. You have to make that shell = xyz -f instead. /* ---------- */
