PoW-Hell

I've got the following message from Bob Trautman - he was installing PEAR on Win: ------ correctly. I did find another problem that you may already know about. I am operating under Windows 98. It seems that I was still receiving errors from your code that checks for folders and files. What I found is that there is a difference in how Win95/98 and NT/2000 handle directory checking. Attached is the changes I made to the code to set global variables as well as changes I made to check for folders and files. Apparently with Win95/98 to check for the existence of a directory you would use a statement such as: If Exist c:\php\cli\php.exe\nul then echo found The \nul is required. I read that I could check for the version of dos and then set a variable. These two statements you will find at the beginning of the routines to check for folders and files. I could not get the statement: IF %ver%==4 set dirfix= working correctly. It seems the %ver% global system variable is not recognized. Thus I hardcode the /nul into your routines. This will work for win95/98 but not for NT/2000. ------- Unfortunalty the attachment was deleted by the mailserver, he tries to attach again.
