Hi all, There is a minor compatibility difference with the FreeCOM DIR command.
Most of the option switches work like toggles. For example: dir /w - shows a wide listing dir /w /w - shows a normal listing dir /w /w /w - shows a wide listing This deviates from MS-DOS dir /w - shows a wide listing dir /w /w - shows a wide listing To toggle it back off MS-DOS requires the /-w switch and works fine with the FreeCOM DIR. When used through an alias like “set alias ls=dir /w” then executing “ls /w” it produce results different from what is expected. Not all options perform toggling. For example: dir /p - pauses per page dir /p /p - pauses per page I don’t think the toggling is very important. But, it does deviant from MS-DOS. I do think that consistency across the options is important. Any thoughts? :-) Jerome
