MS-DOS | XENIX

Summary: COBREF is unable to find COPY files that have drive designators or pathnames. (Please note that COBREF is case sensitive in XENIX.) In the following examples, the first example works properly, but the second and third do not:


 * 1) COPY filename


 * 1) COPY a:filename


 * 1) COPY

You can work around this problem by placing COPY files and COBREF.EXE in the same directory. Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Version 1.00.

This problem was corrected in Version 2.20.
