Hi,
In the effort to improve pear.bat for windows users, I would like to ask any windows 98 users that are still left to try this simple test:
open a MS-DOS prompt and type:
C:\> mkdir C:\test
C:\> mkdir C:\test\me
C:\> echo "echo %~d0%~p0" > C:\test\me\test.bat
C:\> \test\me\test.bat
C:\> cd \test\me
C:\test\me> test.bat
If you don't see as output:
C:\> echo C:\test\me\test.bat
C:\test\me\
for the first and
C:\test\me> echo C:\test\me\test.bat
C:\test\me\
that's a problem. Please mail me OFFLIST any results, positive or negative. (On windows XP, %~d# where # is a number will spit out the drive, and %~p# will spit out the full path, I would like to see if this works in windows 98 as well)
Many Thanks,
Greg
