Running cp.exe

[Pratt, Nick]

OS: Windows NT 4 / Windows 2000 from command line.

 

Ive got the 3.16 prebuilt version of cp.exe

 

When I run it from the command line, it messes with the command prompt, - Im guessing it doesnt work well with long file names and/or this command line environment.

 

Here's what happens:

 

Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]
(C) Copyright 1985-2000 Microsoft Corp.

 

V:\>cd Aurora

 

V:\Aurora>cd BuildScripts

 

V:\Aurora\BuildScripts>
V:\Aurora\BuildScripts>
V:\Aurora\BuildScripts>cp
v:/aurora/builds~1/cp: missing file arguments
Try `v:/aurora/builds~1/cp --help' for more information.

 

V:\Aurora\BUILDS~1>

 

 

Notice the command prompt has been changed to BIULDS~1 (its almost like Windows 95 used to be with long file names)

PS Does the latest v4.0 fileutils package support MSVC6?
