   As much as I hate to admit it, MS-DOS has one advantage over DR-DOS -
confirm before over-write (for example, with xcopy). I looked into it last
night, and can't find a way to turn it on. IS there a way to turn it on?
Even the help says that no-confirm is the default, so it looks to me like
it's part of the kernel. I really don't like that I have to check whether
I already have a filename of a certain name before using the command. I
should be able to just type it in and have the system tell me I already
have that filename in existence.

thanks,
   DONALD.
