You can always use both… For 1.3, while I didn't go ahead and add wildcarding to each CLI command, counting on the availability of either ARP or something like arp.library for V1.4, I did clean up the command syntax, and upgrade the commands. andy

Did you fix rename, Andy??? and OpenLibrary?
#124208From: Andy FinkelMay 13, 1988 6:18 PM
You'll have to refresh my memory on exactly what bug(s) you're talking about; then I can tell if I fixed them. A 'grep' on the Blish name in the bug database didn't turn them up 🙂 andy

In rename, it's impossible to rename file "zIOD" to file "Zoid". Since the system is case sensitive in it's file handling, you should be able to do that; _or_ for instance, the case sensitivity in OpenDevice and so on, OpenLibrary (I think), are bugs. Since one HAS to go thru the following proceedure at times: rename zIOD to dingle rename dingle to Zoid Either the filesystem or the rename command needs to be fixed, IMHO. Later! –Ben–

Ben, Ah…I have no problem renaming 'cis' to 'Cis' (a script file that starts things up and logs me onto here). What have you been feeding your Amiga lately? Don

just plain vanilla 1.2, is all – and it does NOT work from the workbench. –Ben–

Ben, Ah…ok, I was doing it from the CLI, I haven't had WorkBench up and running for months. Don

I just (ugh!) did a LoadWB, opened my :utilities window, Clicked on "More", hit Rename from the menu, changed the "M" to "m" — worked just fine.

You running 1.3 or something? I just tried it and got the same old thing I've gotten since day one: 1> Rename ppns PPNS Can't rename ppns as PPNS Why Last command failed because object in use So what am I doing wrong or you doing different? Rick
#124425From: Ben BlishMay 14, 1988 2:32 PM
I just tried it from CLI and WB; it _is_ working…. dunno when that started, but it does work, so I withdraw my gripe.

Ben, Ummmmmm….I just did a rename "c" to file "C" with no problems. No pronlems doing your "zOID" to "Zoid" either. What version of the OS or C command are you using? 🙂 GreG
#124424From: Ben BlishMay 14, 1988 2:30 PM
I'm checking today, will post results

Andy, Thanks much for the info. Good to hear. You're quite right, I *can* always use both (and, in fact, do). Hope my message didn't sound too harsh; I have a tendency to do that at times. Thanks again. -Dave
