No, this is true, if your TEMP or ARACHNETEMP directory is not set...

I see... so I should do this differently....

Yes, I should release 1.66 very soon, because in addition to this, there

but attrib is external command, not built in CORE.EXe... this is why I
gave up calling MOVE command some time ago...
I think I will do some for loop, with if not %%d==%3$roura$.bat del %%d
statement, so I can get rid of attrib.
