File Not Listed Using DIR Command with OS/2 Name Space
This article was previously published under Q140707 SYMPTOMS
When you use the DIR command on a NetWare volume, files with no extension
may not be listed.
CAUSE
This is a known limitation with Command.com when you are using NetWare
servers with OS/2 Name Space (long file name) support installed.
RESOLUTION
When you use the DIR command to list a file with no extension, use a
period (.) at the end of the file name. For example, to list a file
named Test, type the following command:
dir test.
You could also type
dir *.*
or
dir
to list the Test file.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows 95. We
are researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
