Has anyone out there got PHANTOM to work satisfactorily? Some apparantly correct commands simply fail to work, giving a bad command message. Most notably, the dir *.* command in the supplied demo fails, and cd commands sometimes fail, although the same command will also sometimes work. Shame, it could be a very useful utility. Any ideas, anyone? Peter Summers

When I ran PHANTOM, it would stop reading when I loaded Telix. I would really like to have a utility like this, and have been looking for something like this for a LONG time. Is there another PHANTOM-like program out there? (Where?) Has the author been advised of these problems?

The demo (albeit short) works, too. I've got a AT compatible (Zenith) with DOS 3.21 (old, but works!). Haven't really used it yet - My $.02 worth.
