Well that is interesting, Windows won't let you create a directory named com1. Try it, I had no idea that was the case.

Yup COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, LPT1, LPT2, even CON. They're all reserved filenames from the DOS days. I mean, how else are you going to print something unless you type:


copy MYFILE.TXT LPT1

Seems we need to handle the error case where the directory can't be created, a little more cleanly.

I'll try to add some error code since I'm working in that part of the system as we speak.
