Does anyone have a program that will or know how to replace commands in DOS. For example, I wish to have ls instead of dir. Either E-mail or post please Thanks in advance. Gary Bushey E-mail: opergb@uvm-gen

For example, here's what a file "LS.BAT" would look like: @echo off dir/w %1 %2 The only drawback to this method is that even though the batch file is only about 30 bytes long, it'll still take up 2K on your disk (DOS minimum cluster size). Of course, the Picnix version of ls is well over 2K long, so this might be a worthwhile tradeoff. You must make the decision. Steve
