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.
