I just recently downloaded the GNU utilities on my NT machine and found out
that 
every utility (ls, mv,) works ok except that I cannot reference another 
device (ie: cp filea a:/).  I have tried all types of variations to the
device name but it still takes it as a filename or directory specification.
Am I missing something???

        Regards,
         John
