Believe me, using Win98 is NOT my choice. I would only ever use
Unix/Linux. Are there other statisticians similarly limited?
Like Simon I am very often limited with choice of software and OS when working for

Peter, thanks for quick reply, but I can't drop it:
system(dir /b, intern=T, show.output.on.console=T)
Error in system(dir /b, intern = T, show.output.on.console = T) :
dir not found

Does it help if you drop the COMMAND.COM
Uwe, you suggest
So you almost got it, just read ?shell carefully enough:

I have tried using

I should clarify that `withdrawing support' does not mean that it will no
longer work with Win95/98/ME, just that we will no longer attempt to
ensure that it does.

Like Simon I am very often limited with choice of software and OS when
