SUMMARY
When the Dir command is issued on a network drive in OS/2, the output format is sometimes different from that of the same command issued on a local hard drive.



MORE INFORMATION
There are two output formats that may result when the Dir command is issued. The format displayed depends on the partition type of the target logical drive (HPFS or FAT) and whether the Dir command is issued on a local or remote drive. If the Dir command is issued on a remote [network] drive, the format displayed further depends on whether the command was issued from a DOS or OS/2 client.

The two output formats are as follows:

Format 1
  CONFIG   SYS       1098 02-27-91  3:21p

Format 2
  2-27-91   3:21p      1098           0  CONFIG.SYS The following table outlines the various output display formats expected under conditions indicated: Issuing            Target Drive        Local          Display Client Type        Partition Type      or Remote      Format ---        --      -      --
