Re: DIR not working right

[Bill Troop billtroop@xxxxxxxx]

Harry, you don't say which platform, in this instance, you're running Xy4
from. I had a similar problem when I ran Xy4 under VirtualBox using
either W2K or XP as the intermediary. If it hadn't been for that, I would
have stayed with VirtualBox. The problem doesn't exist under VMware. I
have not yet filed a bug report with VirtualBox.

Here?s one for puzzle-solvers. I have a directory C:\DB\XFR which has
various files in it, e.g, T.PGM.

 

Xy can deal with that directory, and that file, in most every
way­cd to it, etc.­but it cannot do the DIR command (successfully) if I
give the full path:

 

DIR C:\DB\XFR\T.PGM gives ?File not found.?

 

DIR C:\DB\XFR  gives 0 files found

 

DIR C:\DB  shows all the files, including

XFR    

 

This behavior  occurs regardless of the directory I?m logged
into.

 

But if I log into C:\DB\XFR and do

 

DIR T.PGM

 

it finds it. And while in that directory DIR *.* works normally.

 

So, prepending the path makes DIR fail . . . but only for THIS
directory­e.g.. while logged into C:\DB\XY I can successfully do DIR
C:\DB\XY\*.* and DIR C:\DB\XY

 

Incidentally I checked the ATTRIBs and even forced them to be ?H, and I
renamed the directory (from _XFR), all to no avail.

 

One more tidbit. If I shell to DOS from Xy, everything is hunky dory,
until I exit back to Xy.

 

Help appreciated.
