071202 -
071203 - Follow up ref SDS 6 PPYS, ref SDS 4 0001.
071205 -  ..
071206 - Morris explained having done more research since our call yesterday.
071207 - ref SDS 6 PPYV  He indicated that he cannot develop code in Medit to
071208 - directly find where cmd.exe is located, and further noted
071209 - understandings that they are in different directories on XP than in
071210 - W2K.
071211 -
071212 -    We discussed need to run SDS on XP to make sure everything is
071213 -    working consistently.
071215 -  ..
071216 - Morris advised he made some changes to Medit that accomodate the XP
071217 - environment.
071218 -
071219 -
071221 -  ..
071222 - We found that on my computer....
071223 -
071224 -        i: 00 02 system32 cmd.exe
071225 -        i: 00 02 system32 command.com
071226 -
071227 - ...are both in the same directory.
071229 -  ..
071230 - Morris' code is pointing to...

071232 -                     compsec
071234 -  ..
071235 - The environment variables show....
071236 -
071237 -          comspec = i: 00 02 system32 cmd.exe
071239 -  ..
071240 - Morris indicated that somehow or another Bill grabs his call to
071241 - compspec and interprets it as coming from a DOS program, and so
071242 - directs the call to command.com, even though this is not shown in the
071243 - environment variables, per above. ref SDS 0 SL9F
071244 -
071245 -    The purpose is to maintain compatibility with computer games.
071247 -  ..
071248 - An example is the report on 021004. ref SDS 2 R59M  More recently on
071249 - 021230 we worked on this problem, ref SDS 4 HU9L, and Morris concluded
071250 - that Microsoft Windows was causing the problem. ref SDS 4 SF7X
071252 -  ..
071253 - On 031102 developed code to work around the problem, ref SDS 5 SI5F,
071254 - by calling a batch file that calls cmd and start commands to launch a
071255 - .cmd op. ref SDS 5 498O
