What were you trying to do?
Read data from an MS-DOS disk using -R option
Namely: dosread -a -R cplus/\*.\*
What's wrong:
dosread is trying to create a subdirectory inside a directory
which doesn't exist. cplus contains only directories (no files)
called ch1, ch2, ... and dosread tries to create cplus/ch1
before cplus has been created resulting in UNIX error.
What should have happened:
should have created cplus directory before trying to create
cplus/ch1 directory. Seems to work ok when all directories
contain files too.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
man dosread
