Hey, I just now used a WIN95 machine to copy an LFN to a floppy. Then I inserted the floppy into my DR-DOS machine. I used the DR-DOS "del" command to successfully delete the LFN from my floppy.
Questions: Why doesn't the the DR-DOS "del" command work for deleting an LFN from my hard drive on a different machine running DR-DOS? I once had a working Windows 95 installation on the different machine but now the machine has been fixed so that it will now boot to DR-DOS. I booted from a DR-DOS system floppy and ran "sys c:" to fix it. To fix it real good I will have to delete all the LFNs that still remain on the hard drive from the old Windows 95 installation. The DR-DOS "del" command doesn't work for deleting the LFNs on the hard drive. Why? Even when I boot from a floppy with a WIN95 system disk, even the WIN95 version of DOS will not delete the LFNs. Why? Now I have a halfway fixed machine. As I am an optimist, I suppose that is better than having one that is halfway broken. Windows 95 seems to be just like a very bad virus that is very hard to get rid of. Sam Heywood -- This mail was written by user of The Arachne Browser - http://arachne.cz/
