-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Dos Command line question

Based upon what I've seen of his kindness in offering to help, it is evident
that he could be a really good friend....  I hope that I can some day call
him "friend" with the same affection and evident pride that you do....

Hey Ed,
    Sorry to interject here, but I've had situations where the original path

was too long, so the copy wouldn't work.  Oddly, Windows itself will allow 
paths longer than the max as long as it's only used for storage.  In order 
to use the file at the end of the path, it would first need to be moved 
closer to root.

    By the way Larry, Ed is a real good friend and he knows his stuff. 
:O)

Peace,
Gman
