Peter, I have to say that I must be missing something, since I'm not sure
how you're getting it to work at all!
On the incarnations of both Win95 and Win98 I have here, the 'MD' command
does not work across directory paths. In other words, if I wanted to
create, say, c:\cancer\data\mort100, if none of that path already existed,
I would have to manufacture it step-by step:
cd \
md cancer
cd cancer
md data
cd data
md mort100
... and, even if c:\cancer\data\ already existed, I'd still have to do:
cd \cancer\data
md mort100
... do you have some super version of Win95, I wonder, or what am I missing?
Kind Regards
John
