A little off the subject: I use PCTools by CP all the time with no
problems. Are these the utilities to which you are referring?
Also, Under OS/2, DOS sessions may have access to HPFS partitions, and
HPFSA02b.ZIP off of hobbes.nmsu.edu:/os2/dos
will let you read and write to HPFS partitions under a booted DOS.
As for how to run executor... Other People have posted the correct
solution. Make sure your DOS settings reflect your commandline switches.
Make sure background execution is on, etc etc.
