Re: Host Command On Windows NT

Sometime NT and 95 are the same and sometimes they are not. Here is one of those cases. You can change the command to:

      lv_command := 'cmd /c del '|| 'C:\tmp\a.tif';   or

      lv_command := 'cmd /c start del ' || 'c:\tmp\a.tif';
      Host( lv_command, NO_SCREEN );

NT does not always understand DOS commands without the 'cmd' invocation.
