DOS and Batch Files

Dos for Unix People 2

SUMMARY: More quick batch files in case you accidently type UNIX commands on your DOS or Windows machine.

Unix users - still mistyping commands at your DOS prompt? Here are a few more small batch files you can enter to alleviate your pains. Just type in these commands at the dos prompt, substituting C:\ with your batch file directory of choice.

As always, test these newly-created commands with non-essential text or other misc. files first.

echo @%1 /? > c:\man.bat

echo @copy %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 > c:\cp.bat

echo @move %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 > c:\mv.bat
