Again: removing trailing slash in "C:\" (before or after any function)
in some cases is definitely wrong, because (may) generate different path
("C:\" is a root on C: drive, "C:" is a current directory on C: drive).
Similarly, unconditional adding trailing slash in similar cases is also
wrong. So, even if you some DOS (DR-DOS?) removes trailing slash (in some
cases?), don't expect neither this (on other DOSes) nor that slash will be
removed in any case.

In case of missing trailing slash in argument, where is only drive
letter ("C:"), user definitely expects current directory on this drive.
PS: Well, all my above advices are generic - I don't know, which part of
MOVE you discuss (and where resides sources of this program, which you
discuss - I may have other version), so I can't audit concrete bug presence.
