HOST.LIT 2.0(104)

Scroll Prev Top Next More

HOST.LIT 2.0(104) is now smarter about sorting out possible confusion between switches and UNIX filespecs, both of which can contain slashes. This allows unquoted commands, such as:

HOST /s/abcd

to continue to be treated as filespecs, as they were before the switches /S and /O were added in 2.0(103).

Note that the preferred way to prevent UNIX filespecs or commands from being confused with switches is to enclose them in quotes. For example:

HOST /s "/s/abcd"

In the above command line, the /s following HOST will be treated as a switch, while the "/s/abcd" will be treated as a command to execute.
