What were you trying to do?
Trying to copy a file from Athena to a DOS diskette.
What's wrong:
The format of DOSWRITE command in the different clusters
is different: sometimes (f.x., on this machine, the format
is DOSWRITE FILENAME; on the others, it's
DOSWRITE FILENAME NEWFILENAME (the last parameter is obligatory).
What should have happened:
Well, maybe I'm picky, but I think, the command should not differ
from one workstation to another; even more, the doc's are the same.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
MAN DOSREAD
Any additional info:
One more bug: with DOSDEL command. When I want to use wildcards
(f.x, *.TXT do delete all .TXT files from my disk, the command
tries to delete files, taking their names from the athena directory:
f.x., if I have some .TXT files on disk and none in the current
directory, it will give a message :'No files found'.
