I noticed (since SF.net auto-sends me such emails). Cool, thanks! > The issue was with batch files that do not end in CRLF but just terminate > without EOL (my own ones all have EOL at EOF). So that's a workaround. I'm only indirectly aware of this kind of problem, but usually it doesn't crop up. Of course, this is unintentional and presumably due to my text editor (e3). > I could not find P5.BAT in metados. It should be inside %BOOT%:\network\STUBS.ZIP. I think I already worked around it locally but can't remember. Part of the problem is me relying on undocumented hacks such as calling an alias. But it may have been something else too. > Also I could not reproduce the > "cls" issue.
