If i open <BR>> a command prompt by using cmd.exe (StartMenu/Run/cmd.exe) I can cd into <BR>> the 'mapserv-utils' and 'ogr-utils' directories. However if i use <BR>> command.com (StartMenu/Run/command.com) i get your error ('Invalid <BR>> Directory'). I am not a Windows expert, but from what i found out just <BR>> now (http://www.winnetmag.com/Article/ArticleID/39566/39566.html) <BR>> command.com seems to be for older MS-DOS support. Maybe someone on the <BR>> list with more knowledge of this can help us. Does cmd.exe work for you <BR>> Jason??? <BR>> <BR>> jeff <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Jason Hare wrote: <BR>> > Hey folks, <BR>> > <BR>> > I'm using ms4w_0.9 and have run into a strange problem.
