I tried this on one of our test machines, an IBM PS/2 55.
The operating system was OpenDOS 7.02alpha3.

The command issued was 'type autoexec.bat > \dev\dsk0$'
The result was 'Invalid directory specified'.


Later this week I'll be investigating an OpenDOS / OS-2 bug, so I can
see if it works on OS/2...
