Newsgroups: comp.sys.amiga Subject: Not accepted DIR command Message-ID: <3831@vtt.vtt.fi> Date: 14 Sep 89 09:13:03 GMT Organization: VTT/TEL Lines: 17 I bought some weeks ago a PD program for Amiga. This does not work from WB (You can open the disk but you don't see the content). Thus it must be used from CLI. That was not however possible, because (assume that the name of the original disk is XXX) the name of the disk was of the style "copy 2 of XXX". CLI does not understand or accept the command "DIR copy 2 of XXX:" and if you write DIR DF0: it won't give you the content of any other disk than that one which was used when the system was booted or the CLI opened. Copy 2 of XXX did not have WB or CLI on it. We also don't have any external disk station. It worked when I renamed the disk to for example "XXXX", but I don't understand why the CLI should not accept the same names as WB. Is CLI really so dumb ? The swedish and finnish manuals do not at least give any answer to that ? What is the explanation and how is the format of a working CLI -command to get the directories of other disks ? Jan
