Does anybody out there have a version of mv for dos that works reasonably well and does not require another package (like the one that comes with PC-NFS, it does not seem to work properly without NFS up and going).. Thanx, Larry Krone

(I like Q-DOS better than other shells because it doesn't have to read the whole directory list every time it boots--it keeps a directory map in a file.) I admit that a lot of the time, I'd rather have a command line mv, though. Marshall Abrams ab2r@midway.uchicago.edu

It generally falls under the heading of gnuish msdos project. I use the mv command at home on my pc daily without hitch and in the same manner as I do on my unix box here. Try wuarchive.wustl.edu in the mirrors/msdos/gnuish directory and get the futil archive. murph

Every Dos version since 2.0 can do this but the command.com is to stupid to allow it. Simply use Turbo Pascal and rename the file, this will do the job. I have written a program that does exactly this plus copies and deletes if the above is not possible (different disk drives). I can mail uuencoded copies to everyone who is interested.

There is a shareware program from a "Dr. David" (if I don't remember wrongly)
called "REND" (currently at version 1.3). It probably stand for rename
directory. It can be used as "mv" --- and it will move the whole directory
tree too. Very nice and fast. The document says that the registered version
can move directory across drive.
It is probably available on a lot of ftp site, but I can remember which
one off hand.
