Hello,
since many months I use Chuck Forsbergs MV command which was posted to
the net just one year ago ( Nov. 21 1987 ). Everything was fine until today,
when I wanted to mv a file to another drive. My commandline:

c:\dos>MV TEST.TXT E:\

so I wanted to bring test.txt from c:\dos to e:\, but
THE FILE DISAPEARED !!!!

I could not find it anywhere, not on c:, not on e: nor on another drive or
directory. It is also not possible to mv a file to a subdirectory on another
drive, it disappears also.

It is only possible to bring a file to another drive by giving e: for example.

So: BE CAREFULL when MVing to another drive !!!
