Hi,
while writing on the german FD help I wanted to add some examples for swsubst and found a problem where I am not sure if I am handling it wrong or if it is a bug.
 
swsubst is divided into two commands: subst and join. "/u drive" is for subst, "/j drive" for join.
The subst command: 
 
swsubst /u f: c:\folder\subfolder
 
works fine, if you type f: and then dir, it shows the files that are in C:\folder\subfolder
swsubst without command shows the drive letter and the substitute as it should.
swsubst /d f: exits as it should.
 
The join command:
 
swsubst /j d: c:\folder
 
should add the content of d: to c:\folder but doesn't. 
If you enter cd versuch (from C:\) this command is ignored at the first trial, works at the second trial, but no content inside. d: says: invalid drive D:
(means: the content of drive D: "disappears" on both sides.
And this although swsubst shows that d: and c are joined.
 
Question: Is there something wrong with my syntax or is it simply a bug?
Thx for response.
 
Fritz
