: Background:
:
: OpenGEM 4 and 5 used this command in C:\GEM.BAT:
: CD\GEMAPPS\GEMSYS\
:
: This worked fine in MS-DOS 6 but the version of FreeDOS COMMAND.COM (aka
: FreeCOM) current at the time failed without a space after CD.
:
: OpenGEM 6 attempted to adjust to FreeCOM by using this command:
:
: CD GEMAPPS\GEMSYS
Oh, well, if that's the case the fault is clearly in GEM.BAT. As you point
out below, the correct command is
CD \GEMAPPS\GEMSYS
with both the space and the leading backslash.
