4.00 4.01 MS-DOS buglist4.00 buglist4.01

Summary:

Microsoft has confirmed that the following steps cause a problem to occur in MS-DOS Versions 4.00 and 4.01. We are researching this problem and will post new information as it becomes available.


 * 1) Use SUBST to make Drive D equivalent to a subdirectory on Drive C; call this subdirectory C:(any subdirectory name will do).
 * 2) Change to D:(any subdirectory name will do), which translates to C:), and enter “PRINT .”.

The first file is put into the printer queue correctly; however, for the rest of the files, the following error message is displayed

File not found - C:

where is the name of the files included in the C:subdirectory.

Part of the subdirectory information is being cut off. In the error message, the subdirectory information should be “C:&quot; instead of”C:&quot;.
