[PEAR-DEV] special request for windows 98 users to help develop PEAR's pear.bat

Re: [PEAR-DEV] windows 98 support? | [PEAR-DEV] php4 and php5 on windows
Hi,

In the effort to improve pear.bat for windows users, I would like to ask 
any windows 98 users that are still left to try this simple test:

open a MS-DOS prompt and type:

C:\>  mkdir C:\test
C:\>  mkdir C:\test\me
C:\>  echo "echo %~d0%~p0" > C:\test\me\test.bat
C:\>  \test\me\test.bat
C:\>  cd \test\me
C:\test\me>  test.bat

If you don't see as output:

C:\>  echo C:\test\me\test.bat
C:\test\me
for the first and

C:\test\me>  echo C:\test\me\test.bat
C:\test\me
that's a problem.  Please mail me OFFLIST any results, positive or 
negative.  (On windows XP, %~d# where # is a number will spit out the 
drive, and %~p# will spit out the full path, I would like to see if this 
works in windows 98 as well)

Many Thanks,
Greg
