Hi all.

I just have a few questions about opendos.

1.  The ren command sometimes prompts you with y/n and ms dos never does
this.
Will that be changed?

2.  The copy command in ms dos has a prompt to overwrite files if they
exist.
The /y switch is used.  Will opendos support the /y switch.
I don't like ms dos prompting me but the batch file written for ms dos
will not work
with caldera because it says invalid switch.

3.  The dir/b command in ms dos does not work in opendos.
I know about the xdir/b but it's a pain to remember the differences.

I don't mean to complain but if when people upgrade from ms to caldera
and their batch files don't work ... well that's not good.

Thanks
Sam
