Dear All,
While this is not exactly related to interests of all of us it might be of
interest to some of us.
I am one of a dying breed of stubborn old timers who find some old
DOS-based programs still superior in some applications.
Example: one can write a small batch file using xcopy.com and its various
parameters to transfer data between drives or computers: this encompasses
files and directories, specific files from subdirectories, update or copy
or move all delete or not , dated or not, etc., etc. Just start the batch
file and off it goes! Try to do it using "briefcase"... Or laplink or
whatever.
There are other little DOS programs that I find useful.
The question is:
Windows 2000 seems to be an OS that overtakes the networking environment
(at least here at UofT). I found Win 2000 MS-DOS windows far more
capricious that those of Win 98.
Is this true or am I doing something wrong?
Thank you very much in advance.
