To me... OpenDos *is* "standard". ;-)
Why don't you dump that "non-standard" Dos that you're using ??? ;-)
But seriously, I like that line.
I wonder if this will work in autoexec.bat
set temp=c:\temp
if not exist %temp%\nul md %temp%

Test succeeded (in OpenDos v7.01)
Does it work in your "non-standard" Dos ? ;-)
