Bug#273722: dosemu-freedos: specifying full path with drive letter does not run executable

[J G Miller <miller@yoyo.ORG>]

Package: dosemu-freedos
Version: b8p-4
Severity: normal


In this version of freedos, if a command is issued and the
drive letter is included in the full path, instead of the

command being issued, the current drive is changed to the
drive specified in the full path.

[C:\]>e:\setup.exe

[E:\]>c:

[C:\]>/gnu/ls.exe
autoexec.bat  config.sys    drivers       kernel.sys
bin           doc           gnu           nls
command.com   dosemu        help          tmp

[D:\]>c:\gnu\ls.exe

[C:\]>ls.exe

Perhaps ls not working from D: is because D: is a redirected drive?

lredir
Current Drive Redirections:
C: = LINUX\FS\var\lib\dosemu\freedos\ attrib = READ ONLY
D: = LINUX\FS\root\DOS\   attrib = READ/WRITE
T: = LINUX\FS\tmp\dosemu.lb2dnb\tmp\ attrib = READ/WRITE
