Q140707

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows 95

-

SYMPTOMS
When you use the DIR command on a NetWare volume, files with no extension may not be listed.

CAUSE
This is a known limitation with Command.com when you are using NetWare servers with OS/2 Name Space (long file name) support installed.

RESOLUTION
When you use the DIR command to list a file with no extension, use a period (.) at the end of the file name. For example, to list a file named Test, type the following command:

"dir test." You could also type

"dir *.*" or

"dir" to list the Test file.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows 95. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
