[ms4w-users] trouble navigating ms4w directories

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Jason,

I did some testing to see if I could replicate your problem.  If i open 
a command prompt by using cmd.exe (StartMenu/Run/cmd.exe) I can cd into 
the 'mapserv-utils' and 'ogr-utils' directories.  However if i use 
command.com (StartMenu/Run/command.com) i get your error ('Invalid 
Directory').  I am not a Windows expert, but from what i found out just 
now (http://www.winnetmag.com/Article/ArticleID/39566/39566.html) 
command.com seems to be for older MS-DOS support.  Maybe someone on the 
list with more knowledge of this can help us.  Does cmd.exe work for you 
Jason???
