For users of 4DOS, the COMMAND.COM replacement available as shareware from J. P. Software: Here are some replies to questions about 4DOS posted on this newsgroup. I mailed the 4DOS articles from this group to my cousin, Tom Rawson, who is one of the creators of 4DOS. The e-mail address is his address on Compuserve. The "unknown parameter /Z" messages (Kauto Huopio). This is almost certainly due to using 4DOS.COM from version 2.2 with 4DOS286.EXE or 4DOS88.EXE from version 3.0 or later. If so there will be all kinds of other troubles as well, the old copies of 4DOS.COM should be deleted! The problem with "cd /foo/bar" only changing to directory "foo" and ignoring the "/bar" (from Chris Faylor) is fixed in 4DOS version 3.01. The problem with using dashes on the 4DOS command line (Richard Brittain), eg "4dos -c command", is fixed in version 3.01. ... Tom 75300.210@compuserve.com
