This is BAD - but it's a BUG of FreeDOS MOVE, not of EDR-DOS. I can "confirm" this BUG as I can discourage to use FreeDOS MOVE to move anything beyond a single file.

Besides of this, there are GOOD REASONS why I DEPRECATE the S and H attributes anyway.

Known issue. Why ? This is because of EDR-DOS 2009 immature experimental NTLFN support + Volkov NTLFN addiction. Remove NTLFN support from VC and problem is gone :hungry: If for some reason you can't fix Volkov, launch UI21DEB and activate N ;-)

I'm excited !!! :-) Now please give us the link where one can download the thing. :hungry: I'll test it ASAP :hungry:

Sure, since everybody has and loves Windaube ... "So what?"
