I have a client that is running RB6.5++ DOS and uses the following code:
SET VAR vComSpec = (ENVVAL'ComSpec'))
ZIP &vComSpec /C ... whatever...
I looked at the value of vComSpec and it was: C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\COMMAND.COM
Thus, they are doing (on the second line of code) ZIP
C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\COMMAND.COM /C ...whatever...
They are running on a network with WIN2000 server and all workstations run
WIN2000 prof w/SP2
Shouldn't the Zip line be something like ZIP CMD.COM /C ...whatever...
(CMD instead of COMMAND)
Is the ComSpec correct? Why does it have COMMAND.COM? Should it be
CMD.COM? Is this or can this cause a problem?
Any thoughts?
ps. I read the article "Running R:Base 2000 for DOS on Windows 2000"
(RBDOSW2K.HTM) but it didn't quite help enough.
