Thanks for the info! FD move.exe is dated 30.8.2006, which is kind of "brand-new" for dos tools, so I wasn't aware of its abandoned state ( OTOH, isn't more or less all DOS software "abandoned"? ). Honestly, I usually don't use it at all, but VC fails to copy or move any directory with the mentioned EDR-DOS version, so I was in need of a tool which at least partially works.

I'm slightly tempted to ask "So what?", but since this is regarded as impolite I will swallow this question down.

MS-DOS forever!
